Phoenix's KRDP Jazz is the state's only Black-owned radio station, and organizers of Ada Redd Austin's concert hope to bring it to Tucson.
Cathalena E. Burch Tucson jazz and R&B singer Ada Redd Austin is performing her biggest concert since the pandemic on Saturday, Sept. 10, at Dunbar Pavilion.
Austin will perform a mix of jazz, R&B, pop and blues with her all-star band that includes her longtime keyboardist Doug Martin, saxophonist Michael Moynihan, Mike Levy on bass, Carl Cherry on drums and Steve Smith on guitar. Austin said she had never heard of KRDP before Davis-Paige invited her to headline the benefit concert. The hope, Davis-Paige said, is to one day get an FCC license to expand the station’s reach to Tucson.
Austin said she would love to see the station find its way to Tucson’s airwaves. She also is hoping her concert on Saturday introduces her to new audiences and reacquaints her with old fans who haven’t seen her perform much since the pandemic.
