Celeste was away this week. Andy Hosch, rotating host of Africa O-Yé! subbed. We spent most of the first hour remembering the singer Fontella Bass, who passed away this week at the age of 72. The remaining two hours+ were filled with an eclectic mix of Afro-American jazz, much of it with an African or Afro-Caribbean tinge.
