Next Time on ATJ: We'll Hear Some Excellent Jazz Standards from the Great War Years

On the next edition of All This Jazz -- in the immediate wake of Veterans Day, and as communities around the globe continue to observe the First World War Centenary -- our second-hour theme will be Jazz Standards Dating Back to WWI.

Lots of terrific (and, in fact, timeless) American pop tunes were born during the years of the Great War -- i.e., the summer of 1914 through the fall of 1918 -- such as, to name a few, "Indiana," "Beale Street Blues," "Tiger Rag," and "St. Louis Blues."

We'll hear top-shelf modern-jazz renditions of all of these, and more, in the later-half of our two-hour program. And in the first hour of ATJ, we'll dig magnificent music from the likes of Tom Harrell, Jason Marsalis, and Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey.

Therefore, we hope you can join us for the next All This Jazz, which begins at 10pm on Saturday the 15th, right here on Public Radio 89.5...and online via live stream at PublicRadioTulsa.org.

(We'll also offer, as is our happy custom, a 7pm re-broadcast of ATJ on Sunday the 16th on Jazz 89.5-2, which is Public Radio Tulsa's all-jazz HD Radio channel. And finally, the latest playlist data for our radio show can be found here...and our Facebook page is at this link. Cheerio.)

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.
