Listen for the next broadcast of All This Jazz, beginning at 9pm on Saturday the 13th, right here on Public Radio 89.5 KWGS-FM...and online by way of PublicRadioTulsa.org.
Our program delivers three hours of modern jazz -- across a 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 Benny Goodman to Benny Carter, Sonny Clark to Sonny Fortune, John Abercrombie to John Zorn, and Geri Allen to Gerry Mulligan, All This Jazz is delighted by modern (and post-modern!) jazz in its many various forms, and we dig sharing the same with our listeners.
And in the theme-driven, 11-to-midnight hour of our next program -- on the eve, more or less, of the 58th Annual Grammy Awards (to be shown "live" on CBS on Monday night, the 15th) -- our theme will be Jazz Goes to the Grammys. Thus we'll hear top-notch performers and performances who've been nominated in all five of the pertinent categories: Best Improvised Jazz Solo, Best Jazz Vocal Album, Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album, and Best Latin Jazz Album. Tune in for the likes of John Scofield (shown here), Christian McBride, Eliane Elias, and Karrin Allyson...and, prior to our Grammy spotlight in Hour Three, listen for gems from Chet Baker, George Cables, Rosemary Clooney, Billy Bang, and many others.
Join us. If you're a jazz fan, then All This Jazz is utterly and completely "yer thang," for sure.
(Two final points: ATJ playlist information can be found right about here...and we also maintain a Facebook page for our show. Thanks.)
