2019.10.28 Ben Tyree on Vernon Reid - 3 of 3

This we love: when a guest on Deep Focus chooses a previous guest as the subject.  It's only happened once before but it's happening again on Monday: guitarist/sonic architect Ben Tyree has selected fellow plectrist Vernon Reid.   Even though Vernon Reid has reached the heights of recognition as an instrumentalist (for instance, Rolling Stone calling him one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time), Ben and host Mitch Goldman still think he is wildly underrated and they are going to prove it to you.  It's a rebroadcast of a highlight of 2019.  It features music originally performed in the WKCR studios as part of Charles Blass's Live Constructions and what seemed at the time to be Vernon Reid's personal salon, Tonic.     Deep Focus this Monday from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org.    Tuesday morning it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/   #WKCR #JazzAlternatives #DeepFocus #VernonReid #BenTyree #MitchGoldman #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast    Photo credit: Cygaretka real name: Matylda Sęk, CC BY-SA 3.0 , attraverso Wikimedia Commons
