Ragan Whiteside: Full Court Press

Jazz 91.9 WCLK | By David C. Linton

Published February 4, 2023 at 7:34 AM EST

As we prepare for the big football game and prepare to switch our attention to the hardwood floor, Award Winning Flautist Ragan Whiteside returns with a song appropriate for basketball fans. However, Ragan isn’t playing defense, she’s on offense with the first note of this fast-moving song. She’s going straight to the hoop or in this case top of the charts. Ragan and her production team of Dennis Johnson and Bob Baldwin are right in the pocket on this one. They’ve assembled a talented group of musicians which includes drummist Rich “Rah” Harrison, guitarist Phil Hamilton of Luther Vandross fame, and on percussions Curtis McCain. This is a team that came to play and play they do! Stations across the country will be scoring big time with this one. Check out Full Court Press and Saturday With Ragan Whiteside 10am until 2pm on your Saturdays on Atlanta’s Jazz Station 91.9 WCLK, streaming worldwide.
