Friday, March 30th, 2001 ... 3:00 - 5:45 p.m. ... KZSU, 90.1 FM

This week featuring:

• An interview at 3:00 with XY Collective, a creative chamber-music duo that combines improvisation, complex compositions, and deconstructions of rock songs ("Who Are You" by The Who, in particular) -- they're performing tonight at the Presidio and are well worth the effort to see. Check http://www.bayimproviser.com for details.
• Well, apparently John Lewis didn't die yesterday ...? I'm having no luck finding a news story to confirm his death, anyway -- although admittedly the terms "John Lewis" and "Modern Jazz Quartet" aren't very helpful on a lot of the news search engines...
