Whats on your agenda Saturday night? Kicking back with friends? Chilling out in the backyard? Taking time to enjoy the comforts of home on a summer evening? Make sure to keep your radio close at hand whatever your plans. Dinner Party is on the air with an assortment of music to cool you off after a hot day in Chicago.

It takes more to make a meal than a few heaping platters of food. Theres the good conversation that accompanies any social event. The memories of days gone by that come to mind. And the pleasure of new memories created in the moment together.

Join me for my next edition of Dinner Party, and you and I will enjoy our Saturday evening in the company of Steely Dan, The Crusaders, Sergio Mendes, and Ramsey Lewis. Although there are no plates of food to be passed or bottles of wine to be poured when Im on the air, I like to think our four hours together bears all the other hallmarks of a good gathering with friends.

Dinner Party this Saturday night from 6 to 10.

Here it comes! The weekend for parades and fireworks and cookouts in the back yard! Fortunately, the next edition of Dinner Party will do everything to help you get through this holiday weekend but flip the burgers on the grill and spray on the mosquito repellent. Keep your radio nearby Saturday night, and Ill treat you to summer songs to celebrate the season, steel drums and bossa nova rhythms to take you on a virtual vacation, and good times in the company of Gato Barbieri, Herb Alpert, Al Jarreau, and Steely Dan. Dinner Party. Music that cooks...in your backyard. This Saturday night from 6 to 10.

Is it hot in here...or is it Peggy Lee? It’s hard to say. Dinner Party is back on the air Saturday night celebrating the official arrival of summer with a number of songs designed to heat things up. Of course, we’ll be keeping our cool, too, when Larry Carlton serves up a little something from south of the border, Gato Barbieri invites us to a fiesta, and Al Jarreau sings the music of the Dave Brubeck Quartet...twice. Invite your friends over and spend Saturday evening beating the heat. I’ll be cooking with jazz from 6 to 10 PM so drop by anytime! Dinner Party. On 87.7 Chicago’s Smooth Jazz.
