On the Next ATJ, Younger Jazz Greats from Downbeat Magazine’s “25 for the Future”

Tune in for the next All This Jazz, beginning at 9pm on Saturday the 30th, right here on Public Radio 89.5 KWGS-FM...and online via streaming audio at PublicRadioTulsa.org. Our program delivers three hours of modern jazz -- across a wonderfully wide range of styles -- each and every Saturday night, from 9 o'clock till midnight. (We also offer a 7pm re-airing of ATJ on Sunday evenings, on Jazz 89.5-2, which is Public Radio Tulsa's all-jazz HD Radio channel.) From Charlie Parker to Charlie Haden, Art Tatum to Art Blakey, Bob Brookmeyer to Bob Mintzer, and John Coltrane to John Zorn, All This Jazz is delighted by modern (and post-modern!) jazz in its many forms, and we dig sharing the same with our listeners.... And in the theme-driven, 11-to-midnight hour of our forthcoming program, the theme will be Younger Jazz Greats from Downbeat Magazine’s “25 for the Future.” (You can view said issue of Downbeat Magazine here, btw.) Thus we'll hear from such noted firebrands as Julian Lage, Aaron Diehl, and Cyrille Aimee, to name a few. And elsewhere in our show, we'll spin music by (among others) Sidney Bechet, Christine Jensen, Dave Stryker, and Joe Lovano. Join us! If you're a jazz fan, you’ll be in good hands. (Two final points: ATJ playlist data can be found...if you scroll down a bit...right here. And we also maintain a Facebook page for our show. Thank you, and good day.)

Scott Gregory started working at Public Radio Tulsa in 2006; he started listening to public radio circa 1980, when he and NPR both marked their tenth birthdays (although only one of them commemorated the occasion with a party at Skate World). Scott became this radio station's Operations Director in the summer of 2023; he also hosts and programs All This Jazz, which airs every Saturday night on Public Radio 89.5-1 from 9pm till midnight.
