Fine Tuning preview: 4/17/22

This Sunday on a very special edition of Fine Tuning I'll be devoting the entire show to Charles Mingus and Iggy Pop --- two uncompromising, influential and extraordinarily important musicians.

Jazz bassist, composer and band leader Charles Mingus (who died in 1979 at the age of 56) was born 100 years ago on April 22, 1922. His 1959 classic "Mingus Ah Um" remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

Iggy Pop, the Godfather of Punk, has influenced everyone from the Sex Pistols to Nirvana to Joy Division. Iggy (born James Osterberg) will celebrate his 75th birthday on April 21st!

Fine Tuning: Sundays from 4 to 6 p.m. on ann arbor's 107one.
