Happy New Year! Hope you can tune in for the next go-round of All This Jazz, beginning at 9pm on Saturday the 2nd, right here on Public Radio 89.5 / KWGS-FM (and "live streaming" at publicradiotulsa.org).
From Armstrong to Bird, Ellington to Goodman, Coltrane to Wynton, and Mary Lou Williams to Vijay Iyer, every ATJ broadcast offers three hours of modern jazz, both recent and classic, across a range of styles.
And we always employ a theme in the third and final hour of our show, from 11pm till midnight. This time out, that theme will be Great Jazz Albums of 2015. We'll therefore hear excellent tracks from such standout, all-killer-no-filler recordings of last year as THE THOMPSON FIELDS (Maria Schneider Orchestra), COLLECTIVE PORTRAIT (Eddie Henderson), and THE EPIC (Kamasi Washington), to name just a few.
And elsewhere in our show, we’ll hear from Dizzy Gillespie, Bing Crosby, David Murray, Ron Carter, and many more.
Join us! If you're a jazz fan, then All This Jazz is all you. All the way.
(Two final points: 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.)
