On The Next ATJ, Just Before The Oscars: It's Jazz Music From -- And In -- The Movies

Listen for the next All This Jazz, beginning at 9pm on Saturday the 27th, right here on Public Radio 89.5 KWGS-FM...and online via live stream at PublicRadioTulsa.org. Our program delivers three hours of recent and classic 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 Geri Allen to Gerry Mulligan, Paul Chambers to Paul Desmond, Don Cherry to Don Byron, and Jim Pepper to Pepper Adams, 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 the next ATJ, on the eve of the 88th Academy Awards -- to be aired "live" on ABC-TV on Sunday night -- we'll be spotlighting jazz music from the movies. We'll therefore hear familiar cinematic themes by Henry Mancini, Herbie Hancock, and Alex North...as well as, for example, top-notch film music from the actual soundtracks for "The Man with the Golden Arm" (1955) and "Mickey One" (1965).
 
Elsewhere in the program, we'll also dig tasty cuts from Pat Metheny Group, Orrin Evans, Larry Young, Catherine Russell, and more. Join us.
 
(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.)

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.
