On the Next Edition of All This Jazz: Holiday Music Galore!

Tune in for the next broadcast of All This Jazz, beginning at 9pm on Saturday the 19th, right here on Public Radio 89.5 KWGS-FM...and online by way of our "Listen Live" stream at PublicRadioTulsa.org.

ATJ delivers three hours of modern jazz -- across a whole 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.)

Our forthcoming program will be (drum roll, please) the All This Jazz Holiday Show for this year, airing just in time for Christmas. And so we'll be digging jazz takes on themes like "Joy to the World," "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," "Little Drummer Boy," "Winter Wonderland," "The Christmas Waltz," and "Away in a Manger," to name just a few.

Join us for a broadcast that'll feature everyone from Ella Fitzgerald to Carla Bley, Bela Fleck to Dexter Gordon, Kenny Burrell to Vince Guaraldi, and George Shearing to Jimmy Smith (shown here).

Oh, and as a special, treat -- a holiday gift, if you like, to be presented in the third and final hour of our show -- I'll be reading a "modern classic" of a short story by Paul Auster that first appeared in The New York Times on Christmas Day of 1990: "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story." A wonderful piece. Join us.

(Two final points, actually: ATJ playlist information can usually be found -- or at least searched for -- right about here...and we also maintain a Facebook page for our show. Thanks.)

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.
