Show Host Spotlight: Brian JonesIn the late 1990’s, we first met Brian Jones, the Minister of Swing and host of "Hep Cat's Ball" on Sundays from 6-8 pm. Brian started to sub on late night and overnight shifts in 2004. He then programmed multiple traditional jazz shows after Katrina, until their respective show hosts returned to the city; he did his first official late night show in February 2006. He officially became the host of "Hep Cat's Ball" in June 2016. It was Brian's passion for movies that led him to music of the Swing era. He saw The Cotton Club as a teenager and continues to marvel at the compositions of Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway. When he's not on the air-waves, Brian works as the general manager of the Broad Theater. |

Volunteer Spotlight: Lintz Rivera AdamsLintz Rivera, Producer of Saturday’s Livewire music calendar, began volunteering at WWOZ around 2003. She credits our late show hosts Mark Hawkins and Bob French with encouraging her to join the WWOZ family. Lintz started assisting Fred Goodrich with filing documents while the station was still located in Armstrong Park. After we moved to the French Market Building in 2006, Lintz traded up for a producer’s hat and began to read the Livewire. Our listeners appreciate the enthusiastic delivery of Saturday’s music calendar from this school teacher, athlete and polyglot. Thanks, Ms. Lintz! |

Recipe: Preserved LemonsPreserved lemons are a great, handy condiment to have on hand. While they are best known as an ingredient in North African tagines, they can give lots of dishes that little something extra. Use them in pasta, sauces, and anywhere else that calls for savory lemon flavor, like salads, fried seafood, or potatoes. You can buy preserved lemons from specialty retailers, but they're very simple to make and a great way to use lemons while they're in season. All it requires is a little patience and a pile of lemons. |
