America Abroad: Afghanistan - The Future of Reconstruction
Sunday, February 1, 8:00 p.m.

America Abroad examines the past, present, and future of a country once peripheral to American concern, but that now has American troops in its capital city, Kabul. The program considers the war in Iraq and its significance in the reconstruction of Afghanistan, and reviews the efforts of the United States and the international community to help Afghanistan plan for its future.
It features rare, archival audio and an "eyewitness" segment that includes stories from senior policymakers, national leaders, or others involved in the major events of the last century. Segments range from America's involvement with the Afghan resistance in opposition to the Soviet invasion in 1979, to a conversation with young Afghani students about Islam in Afghanistan and the Taliban, and the students' views about their country's future.
America Abroad is hosted by respected newscasters Marvin Kalb, Steve Roberts, Garrick Utley, and Margaret Warner.

Gray Matters: Neuroethics
Sunday, February 1 at 9:00 p.m.

Neuroscientific research holds exciting prospects for the treatment of neurological disease, but our increasing ability to manipulate the brain poses serious questions. A new field of ethical study has arisen to address these issues: neuroethics. Our understanding of how the brain works is about to be transformed, with enormous consequences for social and legal policy and for our sense of identity as human beings. Garrick Utley hosts this program, which examines the implications of contemporary brain research for science and society.

Classically Black: The Creole Romantics
Sunday, February 8, 8:00 p.m.

The Creole Romantics presents three African-American composers whose stories begin in 19th Century New Orleans: Charles Lucien Lambert, Sr., Lucien-Leon Guillaume Lambert, Jr. and Edmond Dede.
For blacks in post-Civil War America, any serious involvement in classical music was problematic. So Lambert Sr. and Dede went abroad in search of less restrictive environments to follow their muses. Ultimately, Lambert, Lambert and Dede emerged as world-class artists who inspired others, such as Ernesto Nazareth, Heitor Villa-Lobos and possibly Darius Milhaud. The Creole Romantics features a wealth of composers' artistry: a cross-cultural blending of western European concert music with ragtime and jazz - music notable for its catchy rhythms, ornamentations and variations. The program's host is classical music radio personality Roger Cooper.

Then I'll Be Free to Travel Home
Sunday, February 8, 9:00 p.m.

In 1991 construction workers in lower Manhattan were digging the foundation for a new building when they came upon a startling discovery: a burial ground containing the mass graves of hundreds of African-American slaves from the colonial period, the largest site of its kind. The discovery raised public awareness that the colony of New York had more enslaved Africans than any other port north of the Caribbean except Charleston, South Carolina.
Then I'll Be Free to Travel Home tells the story of the Africans who founded the New York African Burial Ground (the name later given to the site) and chronicles the work of their descendants, who contributed to development of New York and the nation.
Thurston Briscoe III, program director at WBGO-FM (the popular jazz station in Newark, New Jersey) is the program's host.

The Kansas City Phone Call: The Story of Nat King Cole
Sunday, February 15, 8:00 p.m.

This hour-long drama tells the story of Nathaniel Adams Cole, a shy, skinny kid from Chicago who made his precocious entrance onto that city's jazz scene, went on to lead his world famous trio, and in time became a pop icon, the celebrated Nat "King" Cole. Cole had dual careers: he was a great swing pianist, inspired by Earl Hines and a big influence on Oscar Peterson, and his velvet voice and charismatic stage presence made him one of the top ballad singers of his day.
The Kansas City Phone Call features Nat "King" Cole's younger brother Freddy Cole singing the role of his brother. Portraying the spoken role of Nat will be the inimitable Oscar Brown, Jr.

Race with History

Blacks and whites in America have, at best, had a difficult time living and working together to build the nation. Race With History is a series of hour-long specials that document and debate America's racial dilemma, illuminating critical events and issues rooted in the past as well as contemporary reconciliation efforts.
Race With History uses powerful oral accounts and rare audio to chronicle the history of black-white relations in the century before the modern Civil Rights Movement. It features first-person narratives from diaries, memoirs, newspapers, and other sources.

Media and Myths
Sunday, February 15, 9:00 p.m.

This installment uses provocative commentary and eyewitness testimony to describe how, from 1865-1950, the mainstream press popularized and often promoted the ideology of racism. Whenever possible, however, many white journalists and a growing black press helped build a culture of resistance to the dominant ideology. Media and Myths examines this history and its contending forces.

Expansions
Sunday, February 22, 8:00 p.m.

Expansions chronicles fifty years of African American music through the story of one multi-talented musical family.
Lonnie Liston Smith, Sr., a founding member of The Harmonizing Four (one of gospel music's most enduring quartets) nurtured his sons' love of music. The first to follow his father's example was the middle son, Ray, who formed The Jarmels, a doo-wop group that scored a major hit with A Little Bit of Soap. Lonnie Jr., the oldest son, was the second to become a professional musician. He describes working with jazz giants Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Pharoah Sanders and Miles Davis, and shares insights into his worldwide jazz-fusion hit Expansions. Youngest son Donald, who sings and plays piano, talks about his work with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and listeners are treated to a rare sampling of his artistry. Hosted by jazz artist Peter Solomon.

Jump for Joy: Duke Ellington's Celebratory Musical
Sunday, February 22, 9:00 p.m.

In 1941, African-Americans were portrayed in movies and on stage as servants and porters, and as fearful and clowning stereotypes. That is when Duke Ellington staged "Jump for Joy" - an all-black musical revue that the conductor said "would take Uncle Tom out of the theater… and say things that would make the audience think." African-American performers spoke, sang, danced and joked in rebellion against traditional representations of blacks in movies and musical theater. In a break with convention, Ellington forbade the sixty-member cast to "blacken up," or artificially darken their skin hues. "The show was done on a highly intellectual level," he said. "No crying, no moaning, but entertaining, and with social demands as a potent spice. The Negroes always left proudly with their chests sticking out."
The show featured up-and-coming African-American performers such as the actress Dorothy Dandridge, the blues singer Big Joe Turner, and the comedian Wonderful Smith. The poet Langston Hughes contributed a sketch entitled Mad Scene From Woolworth's, and Ellington collaborator Billy Strayhorn took a hand in scoring the show.
"Jump for Joy" received mostly favorable reviews, but the brash racial jubilation of songs such as I've Got a Passport From Georgia and Uncle Tom's Cabin Is a Drive-In Now provoked death threats, and one cast member was beaten as he left the theater. Although Ellington hoped to take the show to Broadway, its refusal to stereotype and its celebration of African-American pride made it an unlikely candidate for New York's Great White Way.
It also served as an early salvo in the cultural struggle for equality. When a young San Francisco protester confronted Ellington in the early 1960s with the question, "When are you going to do your piece for civil rights?" Ellington replied, "I did my piece more than 20 years ago when I wrote 'Jump for Joy.'"
WFIU's Jump for Joy: Duke Ellington's Celebratory Musical will feature nearly all of the music that Ellington's orchestra recorded for the show, including the classic hits I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good), Rocks In My Bed and Chocolate Shake. Other highlights include a portion of comedian Wonderful Smith's monologue, a radio promotional spot, IU Professor Kevin Young recreating Ellington's 1941 speech "We, Too, Sing America" and Ellington himself discussing the musical and its impact, more than twenty years after its debut. Interviewees include Ellington assistant and "Jump for Joy" scholar Patricia Willard, Smithsonian Masterworks Orchestra conductor David Baker, Ellington biographer John Edward Hasse and cultural historian and IU Professor Michael McGerr. The program is written and narrated by WFIU producer David Brent Johnson.

Peabody Award-winning producer and host Helen Borten creates a sense of intimacy between listeners and her subjects.

This segment, Convicting Chevie Kehoe, is a new inquiry into a notorious case involving white supremacists and a triple murder in Arkansas in 1996.

The Things I Used to Do: The Legend of Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones
Sunday, February 29, 9:00 p.m.

Before Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Guy, before Stevie Ray Vaughn and Albert King, there was Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones - an impassioned singer and guitarist from the heart of the Mississippi Delta. The Things I Used To Do: The Legend of Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones tells the story of Jones' life, from his early years working in cotton fields, through his first gig at the Dew Drop Inn, to his early death in 1959 at age 32.
Jones was an unparalleled showman who dyed his hair and shoes to match his brightly colored suits. He enjoyed walking out to the audience, limited only by his 350-foot guitar cord. Jones had many great songs, including the smash "The Things I Used To Do," now a standard in the blues repertoire.
Hosted by historian Chuck Siler, the program features interviews with blues luminaries Ray Charles, Jerry Wexler and Earl King, and stories from Jones' childhood friends from his hometown of Hollandale, Mississippi.

WFIU Bids Farewell to Ross Allen (1921-2003)

The world of opera lost a friend when professor, broadcaster and IU Opera Theatre stage director Ross Allen died on the morning of December 31 at age 82.
Allen taught Opera History at the IU School of Music for thirty-five years, and directed over 130 productions in Bloomington alone, including the first performance of Bernstein's Candide outside New York. Other credits include the American premieres of Rimsky-Korsakov's Christmas Eve, Martinu's The Greek Passion, and the Peabody Award-winning world premiere of John Eaton's television opera, Myshkin.
Allen was known to WFIU listeners as the producer and host of Sunday Opera, one of the station's most enduring and beloved programs. The program took one of the first steps toward establishing a tradition of enriching WFIU's broadcast service with the resources of the IU School of Music.
Ross Allen's show Sunday Opera was always done off-the-cuff, and he seldom used notes. Allen would arrive a few minutes before the show was to begin with a huge stack of records and a general theme for the program.
From this pile, he would grab a single selection with instructions to the announcer about what he wanted played. As the afternoon went on, Allen would weave a program around his theme drawing on a seemingly endless encyclopedic knowledge of the operas, singers, conductors and directors.
The pace of Sunday Opera could be swift, and sometimes one of Allen's thoughts would lead to a sudden change in direction. The show was what announcers called an "adrenaline producing experience."
Remembering the creation of Your Sunday Opera (as it was originally titled), Allen noted that the decision to begin an opera program on WFIU was as much a practical decision as it was a cultural one.
"They were inventing a lot of new programs to fill the broadcast hours of this fledgling little radio station," Allen said in 1992, "and they thought opera would be very efficient at filling a great deal of time on Sunday afternoons . . . . I think we had about fourteen opera record sets at the station then, and they told me I could use these and any others I could get my hands on. Well, my hands have been on quite a few since that time. I met a former member of the station some time ago, and he said, 'I hear you're still doing Sunday Opera. How many times have you played those fourteen opera sets?'"
In time, Your Sunday Opera became one of the young station's favorite programs. For over forty years, Allen never missed a Sunday broadcast. Even surgery in 1980 didn't stop him - he recorded a program from his bed at Bloomington Hospital. When Allen retired from the show in early 1997, he donated his extensive record and CD collection to the WFIU music library; a collection that remains separate from the rest of the catalogued recordings, bearing the official status of "The Ross Allen Collection." Allen's passion for music and desire to educate others was crucial to the development of the innovative spirit that propelled WFIU from a struggling student-run station to a community cornerstone.

The Radio Reader with Dick Estell

"Bleachers"
by John Grisham
Begins: Friday, February 6

With "Bleachers" John Grisham departs from the legal thriller to experiment with a character-driven tale of reunion, broken high school dreams, and missed chances.
High school all-American Neely Crenshaw was the best quarterback to play for the legendary Messina Spartans. Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddy Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty.
Now, as Coach Rake's boys sit in the bleachers waiting for the dimming field lights to signal his passing, they replay the old games, relive the old glories, and try to decide once and for all whether they love Eddy Rake, or hate him. For Neely Crenshaw, a man who must finally forgive his coach before he can get on with his life, the stakes are especially high.
