Next Time on All This Jazz: Songs for the Newly Emergent Summer Season

On the next edition of All This Jazz, beginning at 10pm local time on Public Radio 89.5, on Saturday the 21st --- which is the first day of summer for those of us north of the equator --- our second-hour theme will be Summer Songs.

As always, it'll be modern jazz, both recent and classic, across a range of styles...and it'll also be, during the 11pm-til-midnight half of our show, seasonal jazz, as we hear such familiar themes as "Summertime," "The Things We Did Last Summer," and so forth.

And in the first hour of ATJ, we'll remember the late pianist and bandleader Horace Silver, a true giant of the music who died earlier this week at 85.

There's never a cover charge, never a drink minimum, and never a shortage of excellent music. It's All This Jazz.

(The fine print: ATJ airs every Saturday night on Public Radio 89.5, from 10pm until 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 --- from Geri Allen to Joe Zawinul. And the second half of our two-hour program, beginning at 11pm, invariably carries a theme. Also, for those so inclined: All This Jazz now has a Facebook page.)

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.
