If you’re a longtime viewer of UNC-TV, you may remember a show called YUSUF & FRIENDS. It was locally produced and according to our own website, “YUSUF & FRIENDS is a 12-part program series that celebrates jazz music, musician, bands and dance. The program is hosted by Yusuf Salim, a musician, composer and owner of the Sallam Cultural Center that offered music workshops to train and further the careers of North Carolina jazz musicians.” You can even view episodes through UNC-TV Passport. I don’t recall the show myself but I’ve seen the name here and there. Unfortunately, I can’t find an airdate in our database.
Here’s a publicity still taken during the program’s recording. The back of the photo has this to say: Elisha Pinson performs during the taping of a program for UNC-TV’s new jazz series, YUSUF & FRIENDS.
