J. Michael Harrison, WRTI 90.1 FM radio host of “The Bridge,” is continuing his 30-year on-air celebration with a special event, “Beyond The Bridge,” at Vinyl Revival. The Bridge, founded by J. Michael Harrison in 1996, is his award-winning radio show – “a blend of jazz that takes you from the mainstream to the edge of the art.”

This evening of reflections and recollections will feature a conversation with the acclaimed saxophonist, composer, educator, curator, and entrepreneur Greg Osby, which will revisit his influential 1993 release 3-D Lifestyles. The event will also feature a special performance by the extraordinary tandem of Bethlehem and Sad Patrick and include a fun filled musical journey through 30 signature jazz and hip-hop album releases marking 1993 as a memorable and pivotal year in music.

J. Michael Harrison began his radio career in 1993 WPEB’s “Is That Jazz” radio show. In 1994 he began volunteering with WRTI as a production assistant. In 1996, J. Michael debuted his own program, The Bridge, which continues to air Friday evenings on WRTI from 10 pm to 2 am.

The Bridge was selected as Philadelphia Magazine’s “Best Radio Program” in 2002, and in 2007, the Philadelphia City Paper called it the “Best On-Air Reminder That Jazz Didn’t Die in 1965.”

Saxophonist Greg Osby has been a formidable presence on the international music scene as a leader of his own ensembles and as a guest artist with other acclaimed groups for the past 39 years.
