On the Next Installment of All This Jazz: Silver's Songbook (as in, Horace Silver's Compositions)

Hope you can tune in for the next broadcast of All This Jazz, beginning at 10pm Central on Saturday the 28th --- right here on Public Radio 89.5 (KWGS-FM)...and "live streaming" online at PublicRadioTulsa.org.

For our second-hour theme, we'll be spotlighting the compositions of Horace Silver, who died last week at 85 and left behind quite a few jazz standards --- including, but surely not limited to, standout themes like "Peace," "Nica's Dream," "Lonely Woman," and "The Preacher." We'll hear all of those, and several other tunes, in the latter half of our two-hour show. And in the first hour, we'll dig music from an appealingly wide range of jazz artists: from Freddie Hubbard and Cecile McLorin Salvant to Peter Appleyard and Jimmy Heath.

Join us, jazz fans!

(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, 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 has 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.
