On the Next All This Jazz, a Herbie Hancock Birthday Broadcast

Listen for the next All This Jazz, starting at 9pm on Saturday the 13th, right here on KWGS-FM / Public Radio Tulsa.

Every Saturday night, both online and over the air, ATJ delivers three hours of recent and classic jazz -- across a wide range of styles -- from 9 o'clock till midnight. From John Coltrane to John Zorn, Woody Herman to Woody Shaw, Duke Jordan to Duke Pearson, and Chris Connor to Kris Davis, All This Jazz is delighted by modern (and post-modern!) jazz in its many forms, and we love sharing the same with our listeners. Join us!

And...since Herbie Hancock turned 79 as recently as April 12th, our show’s third-hour theme (beginning at 11pm) will be Herbie's Tunes. Thus we’ll hear various jazz greats doing such familiar Hancock themes as "Speak Like a Child" and "Cantalope Island" and "Sly" (to name but a few). And elsewhere in the show, we'll dig music by Aaron Diehl, Kurt Elling, Claudia Acuna, Pepper Adams, and many more. Finally, note that ATJ playlist info can be found here, at the bottom of the page...and that we maintain a Facebook page for our show.  

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.
