Destination Out: May 21, 2017

Mike Johnston, host of Destination Out

This week on Destination Out, Mike Johnston featured flutist Nicole Mitchell, who is a member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians out of Chicago. Her new album is “Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds” on the FPE label.
 
We also heard tracks from her band “Indigo Trio,” and works from saxophonist David Boykin.
 
And we featured three versions of Charlie Parker’s “Steeplechase,” including recorded versions by Bird, Jackie McLean, and Dexter Gordon.
 
 

Mike Johnston is the host of 'Destination Out,' which airs each Sunday evening at 11pm. Mike also teaches music history courses at Delta College and Mid Michigan Community College.
