On the Next All This Jazz: Coltrane's Compositions

Listen for the next broadcast of All This Jazz, airing Saturday the 25th on Public Radio 89.5 KWGS HD-1 from 9pm till midnight. We'll present all manner of modern jazz, both recent and classic, both newly released and historically treasured. And in the 3rd and thematic hour of the program, running from 11pm to 12am, our theme will be Coltrane's Compositions...as Trane would've turned 95 on Sept. 23rd. (He died in 1967.) We'll hear jazz greats of yesteryear as well as today doing tunes like "Giant Steps," "Central Park West," "India," "Equinox," and so forth -- plus we'll sneak-preview a track from the soon-to-be-released, never-before-issued album by John Coltrane called A LOVE SUPREME: LIVE IN SEATTLE (which will drop officially in early October, and which was recorded at Seattle's Penthouse Club in 1965). We'll also hear a few tracks featuring the outstanding jazz bassist George Mraz, who died recently at 77. Join us on Saturday night, friends! Or, if you prefer, catch the rebroadcast of All This Jazz on Sunday night, the 26th, from 7pm till 10pm on Jazz 89.5 KWGS HD-2. And thank you.

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.
