On the Next Presentation of All This Jazz: Bird Songs

Hope you can tune in for the next edition of All This Jazz, right here on Public Radio 89.5 KWGS-FM, at 9pm on Saturday the 5th -- or online via live stream at publicradiotulsa.org. (We'll also re-air the show on Sunday the 6th at 7pm on Jazz 89.5-2, which is our station's all-jazz HD Radio channel.)

Our program delivers three hours of modern jazz -- across a range of styles -- each and every Saturday night, from 9 till midnight.

The forthcoming installment of ATJ is a re-broadcast of a terrific show from late August of this year; it features the likes of Joe Locke, Jimmy Rushing, SFJAZZ Collective, Donald Brown, Jason Adasiewicz, and many more. And in the theme-driven, 11-to-midnight hour of this show, we dig songs by Charlie Parker in honor of his then-current birthday. (The legendary bebop saxophonist was born on 8/29/1920 in Kansas City and died in New York at 34.) Bird's tunes are interpreted by the likes of Chet Baker (in the early 1960s), Claude Thornhill (in the late 1940s), and David Hazeltine (in 2013).

Join us, jazz fans. You'll be glad you did.

(Two final points: ATJ playlist information can usually be found here...and we also maintain a Facebook page for our show. Thank you.)

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.
