Starting in the 1980s, Carmen Brown and Catt Sirten were pillars in Mobile’s media and cultural temple. Brown’s Alabama Broadcasters Hall of Fame profile includes on-air and management positions at WBLX FM, WKRG FM, WKRG TV5, WHIL FM and WDLT FM, where she hosted “Smooth Jazz Sundays.” Sirten helped form WZEW FM, and his “Sunday Jazz Brunch” program remained popular for decades. Both earned awards from the Mobile Arts Council and both died within months of each other in 2023.
The Mystic Order of the Jazz Obsessed (MOJO) partnered with Coastal Alabama Community College to award a pair of music scholarships named for Brown and Sirten in helping memorialize their contributions to Azalea City cultural viability.
MOJO honors 2025 scholarship winners Jalen Gable and Seth Jenkins on March 24, 6:30 p.m., at Club 601 @ The Elks (601 State St.). Music to be presented by Rebecca Barry and Friends, during which both of Barry’s students will sit in with the band.
Entrance is $15, $10 for MOJO members. Door prizes and cash raffle to be drawn. Cash bar and light food service available.
