Regardless of how much snow they got the other day up in the Northeast, Spring will officially arrive (here in the Northern Hemisphere) on Monday the 20th. And so, on the next All This Jazz -- beginning at 9pm on Saturday the 18th, right here on KWGS-FM / Public Radio Tulsa-- our thematic hour (running from 11pm till midnight) will be Spring Tunes.
We'll hear jazz treatments of classic numbers like "It Might as Well Be Spring" and "You Must Believe in Spring," of course, but also some terrific lesser-known pieces in this vein, including "Springtime" (by Eric Dolphy) and "Spring Ahead" (by Dave Douglas).
Every Saturday night, ATJ delivers three hours of recent and classic jazz, across a range of styles, from 9 o'clock till midnight. We also offer a 7pm re-airing of our show on Sunday evenings, on Jazz 89.5-2, which is Public Radio Tulsa's all-jazz HD Radiochannel.
From Billy Taylor to Billie Holiday, Kenny Wheeler to Kenny Barron, Paul Chambers to Paul Desmond, and Woody Herman to Woody Shaw, All This Jazz is delighted by modern (and post-modern!) jazz in its many forms, and we always enjoy sharing the same with our listeners. So...join us, jazz fans!
(Also, note that ATJ playlist information can usually be found here, although you'll have to scroll down a bit...and we also maintain a Facebook page for our show. Thank you.)
