Friends, Romans, Music Buffs: Listen for the next broadcast of All This Jazz, starting at 9pm Central on Saturday the 26th, right here on KWGS / Public Radio Tulsa. On this edition of our show, we'll hear from Ornette Coleman, Larry Young, The Mingus Big Band, and The New York Standards Quartet, to name but a few. And our 3rd-hour theme, running from 11pm until midnight, will be Bird Songs Galore -- in honor of Charlie Parker’s upcoming b-day; Bird was born on August 29, 1920 (and died in 1955). Thus we’ll Parker’s tunes rendered by the likes of Geri Allen, The Modern Jazz Quartet, Joe Lovano, and many more. We’ll also hear a few choice cuts on our program from the brilliant guitarist, John Abercrombie, who died earlier this week at 72.
Every Saturday night, both online and over the air, ATJ delivers three hours of recent and classic jazz, across a wide range of styles, from 9 o'clock till midnight. From Eddie Harris to Eddie Henderson, Dave Brubeck to Dave Douglas, and Don Byas to Don Byron, All This Jazz is delighted by modern (and post-modern!) jazz in its many forms, and we love sharing the same with our listeners.
So, please join us! (Also, note that ATJ playlist information can be found here, though you'll have to scroll down a bit -- and we also maintain a Facebook page for our show. Thanks.)
