On the Next Installment of All This Jazz: Newly Released Recordings

Hope you can tune in for the forthcoming broadcast of All This Jazz, beginning at 10pm on Saturday the 23th -- right here on Public Radio 89.5 (KWGS-FM)...and online via live stream at PublicRadioTulsa.org.

For our second-hour theme, we'll be spotlighting New Recordings. Lots of great new jazz CDs have been landing on our desk in these waning weeks of summer, and so we'll happily present, on the next go-round of ATJ, outstanding cuts from such notable new albums as "Floating" by the Fred Hersch Trio, "Last Dance" by Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden, "The Offense of the Drum" by Arturo O'Farrill and The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra (shown here), and more.

And in the first hour of our show, we'll hear from the laudable likes of saxist Clifford Jordan, trumpeter Tom Harrell, and singer Eddie Jefferson.

Join us, if you can. You'll dig it!

(The fine print: ATJ 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 second 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. Cheers.)

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.
