Can't find it on 91.3 FM? Try this joint in the Gables: Regarding John Anderson's article "Tuning Out" (October 23), about WLRN-FM canceling Steve Malagodi's long-running jazz program The Modern School of Modern Jazz and More, I'd like your readers to know that jazz is alive and doing very well in Coconut Grove (if not so well on WLRN). For the past four years the Tuscany has presented world-class jazz. Fine artists such as Randall Dollahon, Brian Murphy, Danny Burger, Matt Bonelli, and Kathleen Donato have performed every recent Thursday at 8:00 p.m. In addition the legendary Ira Sullivan is a regular, along with other guests such as Dante Luciani, Greg Gisbert, John Georgini, and Hank Bredenberg.

Unfortunately there are few other choices in Miami, so don't miss an opportunity to catch jazz at its best.

Editor's note: Steve Malagodi has taken his Modern School of Modern Jazz to community-supported WDNA-FM (88.9), where it airs Saturday from 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
