15th Anniversary Special! Let's get together, throw some nickels in the ol' Rockola Jukebox and celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the "Juke In The Back." It's hard to believe that Matt The Cat's been droppin' down the plattahs and makin' 'em splattah like pancake battah for 15 years. He couldn't have done it without the listenership and support of all you hep cats and crazy kittens. This week, we open up the Request-O-Matic Hotline and take some of your requests as well as play some records that have never been played on previous "Juke In The Back" programs. We take the opportunity to look back at the last 15 years before blasting into the next 15 years with next week's program. So belly up to the bar at Rosie Juke Joint and get ready for a solid hour of what we do best, vintage Rhythm & Blues from the Jukers that make it possible. Thank you!

Hiromi (NEW!). Pianist Hiromi takes us on a journey through ten tracks from the bands she’s led over the past two decades. From solo piano to rock-driven fusion to a Star Wars surprise, it’s a high-energy, wide-ranging look at one of today’s most dynamic musical shapeshifters.

Antonio Adolfo. Brazilian composer/pianist Antonio Adolfo grew up listening to and being influenced by the music of Cole Porter, a favorite composer he celebrates on his new CD, Love Cole Porter. Adolfo feels there is a natural synergy between jazz, the American songbook and especially the poetic sounds of this favorite composer.

Snarky Puppy Horns. Four-time Grammy award winning Snarky Puppy really doesn’t need an introduction. The full group coalesce around the University of North Texas in the early 2000s and grew into a collective juggernaut that sits at the vanguard of contemporary jazz. The horn section stands alone, performing not only with Snarky Puppy and other groups around Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, but also with the Grammy award winning One O’clock Jazz Band. They also tour periodically, and we were lucky enough to get them to grace our stage for two sold out shows on March 15th, 2019.
