Dear KCSM Members, The holiday season is always a good time to take stock of one's good fortune, and practice generosity towards one's family and larger world. Despite the hard times that are still being faced by millions across the nation, many of us continue to hold onto our jobs and our homes, send our children to good schools and in general, have a comfortable life. And many of us really don't need any more "things" gifted upon us this holiday season. When we think beyond the basics of what we are grateful for; food, clothing, and shelter, we realize that there are many other things that add to the quality of life that are now being threatened because of the current economic situation. State parks are being closed, libraries are cutting their hours and many services we take for granted are being scaled back or eliminated altogether.

We don't have a lot of control over may of these cutbacks, but we CAN make a difference to the charitable institutions that add to the quality of our lives by making an additional year-end gift. This year more than ever, non-profit organizations, especially arts and culture organizations, are feeling the pinch of reduced donations and higher expectations. KCSM is no exceptionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we are struggling to cover costs that have been historically subsidized by our community college district at a time when our membership donations are falling. We are in the process of implementing new business models that will replace the lost revenue, but are facing the possibility that we may not be able to move fast enough to keep the stations on the air. If you like what you see or hear on KCSM, consider giving an additional yearend gift or have your firends and relatives make a gift in your name. This year, more than ever, we are relying on your generosity to be able to keep broadcasting member-supported educational television and jazz radio. Sincerely,

Marilyn Lawrence General Manager

12/6 Jim Cullum’s Jazz Cabaret — Live at Pearl Stable Classic American jazz is a goldmine of great music.

The Jim Cullum Jazz Band and special guests tell the story and perform tunes from Allen’s long career.

JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Monday at 9 pm

12/7 Bud Powell After being brutally beaten by police at age 21, Bud Powell (pictured) spent the rest of his short life fighting mental illness until his death in 1966. His music revealed his constant state of struggle. Known to improvise like one possessed, Powell's right hand could race through the upper registers of the keyboard with astounding clarity while his left hand grounded the lines with irregularly spaced dissonant bass chords. Bud Powell created a ferocious body of music that shattered the limits of bebop and influenced all that followed him.

12/14 Saxophonist/Composer/Arranger Gerry Mulligan 12/21 Charles Mingus, Part 1 Charles Mingus (pictured) was a big man and he played an instrument made for him, the bass, and in the process, remade it. Moving the bass down front, he conducted small groups and the occasional big band, playing hundreds of his own tunes—music that expanded jazz and the musicians who played it. On this show, part one of a two-part tribute to this triple threat—bassist, composer, and bandleader.

12/28 Charles Mingus, Part 2

By the time Charles Mingus' groundbreaking 1956 composition, "Pithecanthropus Erectus" came out, Charles Mingus had grown out of Watts, out of Los Angeles and the west coast, to establish himself as an innovative bassist and challenging composer. He moved east to New York, jazz central, and established his legacy as one of jazz's finest writers and most provocative bandleaders.

Adair performs a graceful version of I Wished on the Moon and teams up with McPartland for her signature closer, We'll Be Together Again.
