📰 News we're reading
• Coltrane 100, DOMi & JD Beck, and Chris Oatts' Pretty Big Band (wrti.org) — Wilmington jazz fans can catch Grammy-winning vocalist Samara Joy at Copeland Hall in The Grand Opera House on Sept. 27, with a set likely built around her acclaimed album Portrait. The broader roundup also spotlights John Coltrane centennial celebrations and several Philadelphia jazz shows, but the Wilmington date offers a rare chance to hear one of today's brightest jazz voices close to home. 
• Fake FedEx drivers steal $680K electronics load from New Castle, DE, warehouse (freightwaves.com) — A $680,000 shipment of electronics picked up near Wilmington was allegedly stolen from a New Castle warehouse by suspects posing as FedEx drivers, but troopers later found the loaded trailer intact in a Newark parking lot. Delaware State Police arrested a California man at University Plaza in connection with the scheme, which involved fraudulent IDs, shipping documents, and a fake license plate.
