The 3rd Annual WEFT 90.1FM

Winter Bluegrass Festival

Global Transfer Afterglow

Jeff Chan’s Cultural Arts Quartet

Saturday Night, January 19th – Krannert Lobby – Free

Coming upon on Saturday, January 19, at about 9:30pm, as part of Krannert’s Global Transfer Afterglow Series,  WEFT is pleased to be a community partner in welcoming Jeff Chan’s Cutural Arts Quartet featuring Ed Wilkerson, Jr., on windwoods, Tatsu Aoki bass, with Avreeyal Ra on the drums.

In Jeff Chan’s words, this group is “a no-holds-barred foursome built for blowing.”  Jeff Chan and Ed Wilkerson Jr. oversee magnetic melody lines on winds as Avreeayl Ra sets the groove and bass from Tatsu Aoki nimbly strides and struts through modern works by Chan, straight-up jazz classics, and world music.

WEFT and the Krannert Center have been community partners for several years, after the station offered our world music hosts as the MC’s for “Africa Fete” in in June of 1998.  It was an energetic outdoor festival and celebration of a variety of African performers on tour, held on the east side of Krannert.  Since then, WEFT has been an official sponsor, through interviews, and updates with Krannert’s performers and performance information.  Tune in on most Friday afternoons, around 3:30PM during Craig Koslofsky’s Senor Blues show, as he is joined by Krannert’s Bridget Lee-Calfas, their Advertising and Publicity Director, who gives highlights of upcoming concerts and performances.
