The 2016 Tony Awards -- Broadway's version of The Oscars -- will happen Sunday night, June 12th, in New York City. And so, on the next All This Jazz, beginning at 9pm on Saturday the 11th here on KWGS-FM, our 3rd-hour theme (from 11pm till midnight) will be Jazz Greats Playing Show Tunes. We'll hear gems from Gershwin and Porter, of course, but also excellent modern jazz takes on numbers from “My Fair Lady,” “West Side Story,” and “Bye Bye Birdie” (to name a few). And elsewhere in our show, we'll hear from the likes of Cannonball Adderley, Catherine Russell, Kenny Barron, and Clifford Jordan. Every Saturday night, ATJ delivers three hours of recent and classic jazz, across a wide 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 Radio channel.) From Geri Allen to Gerry Mulligan, Paul Chambers to Paul Desmond, Don Cherry to Don Byron, and Dave Brubeck to Dave Douglas, All This Jazz is delighted by modern (and post-modern!) jazz in its many forms, and we dig sharing the same with our listeners. Join us. (Also, FYI: ATJ playlist information can be found here, although you'll have to scroll down a bit...and we also maintain a Facebook page for our show. Thank you.)
