Deciding What Jazz Is
Spring Cleaning at KPTZ means sorting through accumulated Jazz CDs and separating keepers from the $1 bin. Hard at work here (in this photo by Mike Carroll) are (L to R) Chris Bricker (Morning on the Salish), Dick “Rooster” Keenan (Vinyl Dialogues), Peter Robinson (Out of Nowhere), and Bill Mercier (Jazz Notes).
Earlier this year the Classical music library was similarly sorted by Gail Pruitt (Unlaced Strings), Don Landstra (Early Music), and Nathaniel Walkstein (Entertainment Calendar).

In Memory of Marcia
KPTZ, our community and the world lost our beloved Marcia Perlstein on Sunday evening, February 25, 2018. Marcia was the host of the two radio programs Pleasures and Treasures (aka Treasures and Pleasures) and Under the Rainbow, and she was a lifelong activist for human rights and justice. She called herself “your friendly neighborhood interviewer,” and urged us all to “Go gently, or as gently as you can.” Marcia was a force for good, for humanity, for justice, for art, for love.

#105 Johnpaul Davies
(First airdate: February 27, 2018) JOHNPAUL DAVIES – A TASTY MARITIME TRADE AT KEY CITY. Our Town Host Maryanne McNellis interviews Johnpaul Davies, owner of Key City Fish Company. As a young man fishing in Alaska, Davies had no idea he’d end up running a successful fish (& meat) operation in Western Washington. His skills as a salesman meshed with his knowledge of how to cut, handle and display seafood. It’s a much more complex job than you might think. Even his nuclear physicist father was impressed.

In her honor, KPTZ Compass is this week re-running the program she and Steve Evans co-produced at the Port Townsend Women’s March upon the inauguration of President Donald Trump, first aired on January 23, 2017.
