On the Next Presentation of All This Jazz, a Spotlight on the Compositions of John Coltrane

Please do tune in for the next broadcast of All This Jazz, beginning at 10pm on Saturday the 23rd -- right here on Public Radio 89.5 (KWGS-FM)...and online via stream at PublicRadioTulsa.org.

In the first half of our program, which will be a re-airing of a terrific show originally heard back in September, we'll dig tunes from Jane Ira Bloom, McCoy Tyner, Dave Holland, and more.

And then, for those especially dedicated and/or sleepless late-night listeners, the second-hour theme of ATJ will be Tunes by John Coltrane. We'll thus hear, in the 11pm hour of the program, such masterful Trane Songs as "Impressions" and "Naima" and "Giant Steps" -- as rendered by the likes of, respectively, Wes Montgomery and Karrin Allyson and Lee Konitz.

Join us. If you're any kind of jazz buff, then All This Jazz is "all you," my friend.

(The fine print: ATJ [please see our recent playlist data here] airs every Saturday night on Public Radio 89.5, from 10pm till midnight. We always thereafter offer a 7pm re-airing of the program on Sunday evening, on Jazz 89.5-2, which is our station's all-jazz HD Radio channel. Each week, we spin modern jazz, both recent and classic, across a range of styles. And the latter half of our two-hour program, beginning at 11pm, invariably carries a theme. Also, for those of you so inclined: All This Jazz now maintains a Facebook page. 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.
