For this special, Step Outside will unleash a torrent of remarkable, ill-mannered, raw-nerved sounds by label mates from Krakatau to the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Terje Rypdal to the Music Improvisation Company with Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton to Steve Tibbetts, Carla Bley to Heiner Goebbels, Joe Maneri to Evan Parker to Hal Russell’s NRG Ensemble, as well as the dark sides of Garbarek, Jarrett and Towner. http://www.wmnf.org./program_specials/show/165 WMNF http://www.wmnf.org./program_specials/show/280 On the Nov. 12 edition of the Wednesday Sonic Detour--probably in the second hour, sometime after 5:15pm--we'll be airing an interview (recorded Monday) with Eels singer-songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, aka E. A cult band housing a truly major talent, the Eels now operates as a shifting collective of musicians E chooses to record that album with or play with on that tour, having released a string of revered albums over a dozen years (preceded by E albums in '92 & '93)--and ardent fans include Pete Townshend and Tom Waits. It's a particularly interesting time in E's world: "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives," the award-winning documentary film about E investigating the pioneering work of his late father, Hugh Everett III, a quantum physicist now considered a genius, aired in October on PBS' "Nova"...his fantastic, acclaimed memoir, "Things The Grandchildren Should Know" was published in the U.S. in mid-October...the Eels recently released a deluxe vinyl version of "Blinking Lights And Other Revelations" as four-LP set... etc. http://www.wmnf.org./program_specials/show/280 WMNF http://www.wmnf.org./program_specials/show/281 Tune in to Latino 54 for an in-studio performance and interview with local band Lost Hijos de Ismael, recorded in the Mike Eisenstadt Live Music Studio at WMNF. http://www.myspace.com/lhdi http://www.wmnf.org./program_specials/show/281 WMNF http://www.wmnf.org./program_specials/show/277 That's right!

Lenny Gomulka began playing drums at the age of four. During his early childhood days, he eagerly looked forward to playing along with the Sunday radio programs at home. Following his mother's wishes, he began taking trumpet lessons in parochial school at the age of 11. The youngest of four children, he grew up in a predominantly Polish neighborhood on Chicago's Southwest side, near the stockyard district. Gomulka became the youngest person ever to garner a membership in the Chicago-area Musician's Union. Membership age requirement was 16 at that time; being only 13, parental consent was required along with a mandated audition in front of a panel of judges and peers, playing the song "Tea for Two." This began Gomulka's performances with many well-known Chicago-area bands; however, prior to Gomulka taking the stage, one or both of his parents were required to be in attendance. Gomulka made a mark as a studio musician in Chicago from the '60s through '80s. He formed his own band, the Chicago Push, in January of 1980 and has been recording since that time as Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push. In 1985, Gomulka was nominated for a Grammy Award, the first year a polka category was implemented. As of 1998, he has captured a total of eight Grammy nominations. Gomulka has recorded on over one hundred albums throughout his career. He is a BMI writer and owns the Orland Publishing Company and Push Records. www.chicagopush.com http://www.wmnf.org./program_specials/show/273 WMNF
