West Coast cool jazz, plus some great vocalists, and more tonight!

In “round-robin storytelling,” a group of people make up a story on the spot. Sally Parker says it’s a good way to bust through writer’s block, and just a lot of fun, whether you’re a writer or not. Parker presented a session on round-robin storytelling this month in Central Park as part of her Square Tomatoes crafts fair, and will again in October. On today’s show, she and Davisville host Bill Buchanan use the technique to make up a story on air … or at least the first part of a story. The rest of the show goes into what this kind of storytelling is all about. Come listen to the result.
