Alphonse Mouzon Headlines

KWIT | By Mark Munger

In the early 1970’s, Jazz Fusion was music’s cutting edge, and Alphonse Mouzons’ Mind Transplant is one of the genre’s seminal albums. Sioux City’s guitar hero Tommy Bolin provided much of the soul for that album. This Saturday, Mouzon will be bringing a bit of Tommy’s soul back to Sioux City. The drummer will be headlining the Tommy Bolin Music Festival, which will be held at the Icky Nickel. FM90’s Mark Munger gave Mouzon a call to talk about his work with Bolin.

Mark Munger first began listening to public radio as a child in the back of his Mom's VW Vanagon, falling in love with the stories on Morning Edition and Prairie Home Companion and the laughter of Click and Clack on Car Talk. Through KWIT, he was introduced to the great orchestras and jazz artists, the sounds of folk and blues, and the eclectic expressions of humanity. This American Life and Radiolab arrived in his formative college years and made him want nothing more than to be a part of the public radio world.
