Event taking place on the Soulsations Facebook page .

Join Carla Eckels, host and producer of Soulsations, in conversation with chart-topping jazz artist Skinny Hightower. The interview will premiere at 6 p.m. CT on Tuesday, June 29, on the Soulsations Facebook page ().

From Wichita, Kansas, Hightower is a record producer, bass player, drummer and jazz pianist with a reputation for trekking his own path. With two #1 Billboard singles (Blue Moon, Taboo) and four Top 5 Billboard singles (Blue Moon, Taboo, Bittersweet and Sample That), Hightower is no stranger to mass appeal. And having performed at various jazz festivals, he has established himself as a top tier artist.

KMUW's Carla Eckels will host Hightower in conversation about his craft and his latest effort Blue Moon, a two-disc collection of lively yet edgy '70s-clad instrumentals. Over 100 songs were recorded, all produced by Hightower, and a team was carefully selected to determine the best 24 songs of the bunch, forming what is now an album of considerable proportions.

Soulsations with Carla Eckels takes listeners on an engaging musical journey of R&B and gospel music. The program airs at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. every Sunday on KMUW — the flagship station in Wichita — and at various times on other public radio stations.
