Could this be peak Frank? Sinatra at the Sands captures the energy, the cool, and the incredible voice that made this crooner so iconic. Backed by the Count Basie Orchestra with arrangements by a young Quincy Jones, this live album still swings 60 years later!Sinatra at the Sands was recorded at a moment when Sinatra was emerging from a slump. Rock and roll dominated the airwaves, the Beatles were redefining popular music and crooning just wasn't cool anymore. But this album, recorded live in Vegas, shows a 50-year-old Frank sounding loose, confident, and completely at home in front of a band that swings like nothing else.

In late September 2025, UMe, in conjunction with Frank Sinatra Enterprises, announced a new exclusive double-vinyl collection from Frank Sinatra, featuring his historic collaborations with Count Basie and Duke Ellington, entitled The Giants Of Jazz. This special release includes a pair of timeless albums—It Might As Well Be Swing with Count Basie and His Orchestra and Francis A. & Edward K. with Duke Ellington—newly remastered from the archival recordings. The package includes a new gatefold jacket design that incorporates rare photographs as well as the original artwork. Comprising seminal performances from Sinatra, Basie, and Ellington, the title The Giants Of Jazz couldn't be more apropos. Maggie & Charlie discuss each of these legendary recordings starting with 1964's It Might As Well Be Swing with Sinatra accompanied by Basie in tandem with his orchestra on ten tracks for the second time following 1962's Sinatra-Basie, and it was Sinatra's first studio album arranged by Quincy Jones. We discuss the magic created by Quincy Jones and the beautiful lifelong friendship which began during this musically fruitful period in Sinatra's recording career. Then secondly, we discuss the genius of Duke Ellington and how the 2 came together. Sinatra was instrumental in bringing Ellington's orchestra to his Reprise Records label, creating the opportunity for them to work together on the album Francis A. & Edward K., which was recorded on Sinatra's 52nd birthday, December 12, 1967. CHARLES PIGNONE is a producer and writer. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Sinatra Treasures and also The Copa, The Sinatra Family Photo Album and Sinatra 100. He has produced over 50 albums including “Sinatra: Nothing But The Best” and “Ultimate Sinatra.” Charles also co-produced Seth MacFarlene's most recent album Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements. He also co-produced the television specials “Sinatra Sings,' HBO documentary 'Sinatra: All Or Nothing At All' and CBS's ‘Sinatra 100' Grammy special. Mr. Pignone began his association with Frank Sinatra in 1984 and is the president of Frank Sinatra Enterprises.Source: https://www.sinatra.com/ume-release-new-frank-sinatra-double-vinyl-set-the-giants-of-jazz/Source: https://www.sinatra.com/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

The link between jazz and what we now call reggae goes back 70+ years to the time of Count Basie and Duke Ellington's big bands in the 1940s and '50s, which were very popular in Jamaica. These records arrived through sailors, migrants, and sound-system operators like Coxsone Dodd and Duke Reid, who travelled to the U.S. specifically to buy jazz and R&B 78s. The island absorbed these sounds and fused them with mento (Jamaica's folk music), African rhythmic traditions, New Orleans R&B (Fats Domino, Rosco Gordon), and bits of Country and Gospel. Out of this blend came the foundation of what would eventually become ska. Early ska bands felt like compact jazz big bands- horn sections front and centre, trading solos, swinging lines, and arrangements shaped by jazz harmony. The Skatalites were made up of jazz-trained musicians from the Alpha School of Music, including Don Drummond, Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso, Lester Sterling, and Jackie Mittoo. Players like Ernest Ranglin and Monty Alexander brought traditional jazz phrasing into their playing. If you listen to early ska, you hear bebop-style solos, ii–V–I chord movements, blue notes, horn riffs modelled after Ellington and Basie, and rhythm sections that mix jazz walking lines with a distinct upbeat “skank.” The shift from jazz to ska was a natural evolution. Sound systems were growing in popularity, and access to new releases from the USA was limited to those who could travel there and purchase them, as mentioned with Dodd & Reid. Jazz and Jump Blues were beginning to disappear, and Sound System operators needed fresh music to keep people coming back, so they started looking to existing talent on the island. The early days of Ska were recorded by musicians who took those elements and reshaped them into something uniquely Jamaican, emphasising the offbeat, simplifying the walking bass into a pulsing groove, and blending African-derived rhythms with American jazz techniques. This mixture created the dance-driven sound of ska, which later slowed into rocksteady and evolved into what we now call reggae. For today's mix, I explore a collection of jazz tracks I've always gravitated toward—those with a groove, that swing, and that carry some of the same energy that fed early Jamaican music. I focused on artists like Miles, Blakey, and Dizzy for this 90-minute session, and I hope you enjoy it.

My Dad's Greatest Hits This will be my last regularly scheduled weekly episode. We'll talk about that as we go along. One of the last songs my dad heard in his hospital bed the day he died and the one we played as we wheeled his casket out of the church was the Frank Sinatra song, My Way. It's how my dad lived his life. And it's how I will bring this show to a close. I'll use paraphrased lyrics from the song. So Yes, the end is near. My friend, I'll say it clear. Strap in. This is going to be a fun musical ride. So, get ready to hear 20 songs that had meaning to my father, my family, and me in Volume 250: Fading Out My Way.

Listen to the first episode in our three-part series exploring the music of Reunald Jones, an important jazz trumpet player with deep connections to the Avenue neighborhood. During his legendary career, Jones performed with the biggest stars in American music, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Sonny Rollins, Dinah Washington, Quincy Jones, Nat King Cole and many others. Jones was born in Indianapolis in 1922. Music was part of his family legacy, his father John Wesley Jones was a musician, and his cousin Roy Eldridge, was a famous jazz trumpet star. Jones' family had strong ties to the Avenue neighborhood. During the early 1900s, his father was a choral director for the Bethe A.M.E. church and a bandleader, for the Senate Avenue YMCA. In the 1930s, his sister, Louise Fields, was an editor for the Indianapolis Recorder. After spending the first decade of his life in Indianapolis, Jones moved with his family to Muncie, Indiana. By age 15, Jones was playing trumpet in a local Muncie band that included Doc Wheeler on trombone. Wheeler became a star on the Avenue scene during the 1930s. In the early 1940s, Jones and Wheeler reunited for a series of recordings with Bluebird Records. By age 20, Jones left Muncie to pursue a life in music. He performed with a variety of regional territory bands, including Speed Webb's Hoosier Melody Lads, where he had the chance to play with his cousin Roy Eldridge. By the mid 1930s, Jones was in New York, where he began his recording career. Join us this week to hear Jones' early recordings with Mezz Mezzrow, Lil Hardin, Don Redman, Jimmie Lunceford and more.
Tonight's Jazz Feature is a style known as "Mainstream Jazz". It really represents a concept where young and older musicians share a common ground. Some players are adaptable and some are not . This session called "The Jo Jones Special" represents some of the old and some of the new. It was recorded in August of 1955 with the leader Jonathan "Jo" Jones on drums. A master drummer was Jo. He assembled a fine group here with Emmett Berry on trumpet, Bennie Green on trombone and Eli "Lucky" Thompson on tenor saxophone on the front line. On piano is Nat Pierce, Basie stalwarts Freddie Green on guitar and Walter Page on bass work hand in glove with Jo Jones. An honored guest on the first and last tune of this album is Count Basie himself replacing Nat Pierce. Enjoy this fine music tonight on "The Jo Jones Special".

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Alain Locke's classic essay "The New Negro" and the literary anthology featuring the work of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen and other significant black writers of the day.The rising artistic scene would soon be known as the Harlem Renaissance, one of the most important cultural movements in American history. And it would be centered within America's largest black neighborhood -- Harlem, the "great black city," as described by Wallace Thurman, with a rising population and growing political and cultural influence.During the 1920s, Harlem became even more. Along "Swing Street" and Lenox Avenue, nightclubs and speakeasies gave birth to American music and fostered great musical talents like Count Basie, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. Ballrooms like the Savoy and the Alhambra helped turn Harlem into a destination for adventure and romance.What were these two worlds like -- the literary salons and the nightclubs? How removed were these spheres from the everyday lives of regular Harlem residents? How did the neighborhood develop both an energetic and raucous music scene and a diverse number of churches -- many (like the Abyssinian Baptist Church) still around today?Visit the website for more details and more podcastsGet tickets to our March 31 City Vineyard event Bowery Boys HISTORY LIVE! hereAnd join us for our Gilded Age Weekend in New York, May 29-June 1, 2025.

A principios de 1940, un joven llamado Malcolm Little se instala en Boston procedente de las llanuras del Medio Oeste estadounidense. Aquel joven se convertiría con el paso del tiempo en uno de los grandes líderes por los derechos civiles de los afrodescendientes en su país, en Malcolm X.Pero antes se ganó la vida como limpiabotas en los salones de baile de la capital del Estado de Massachusetts. En ellos, el joven conoció a alguno de los grandes músicos de jazz del momento, de Dizzie Gillespie o Count Basie a Lionel Hampton, creando un vínculo que estrechó más tarde en los grandes clubs de Nueva York como el Apollo o el Cotton Club, donde se ha convertido ya en su camello de marihuana de confianza.El podcast Malcolm Jazz es el contenido musical extra que Documentos RNE suma al documental sonoro sobre el líder negro con motivo del centenario de su nacimiento emitido el pasado viernes 17 de enero: Malcolm X, maldito negro. Ahora, en este contenido exclusivo para RNE Audio, el guionista de dicho programa, Alfredo Laín, recibe al director del programa Sólo Jazz de Radio Clásica, Luis Martín, para mantener una conversación donde se habla de swing, segregación racial, drogas y creatividad, y se escucha a Billie Holliday, Glenn Miller o Cab Calloway, entre muchos otros. El objetivo: profundizar en la relación entre Malcolm X, el jazz y sus figuras más destacadas en las décadas de los años 40 y 50, pues como el propio Malcolm dejó escrito: "La música, hermano, es nuestra. Somos nosotros. Y como nosotros, siempre está aquí, rodeándonos, como las infinitas partículas que componen la vida. No se pueden ver, sólo se pueden sentir. La música, como el alma que nunca muere, impregna eternamente la atmósfera con su presencia".Documentos RNE se emite los viernes, de 23 a 24 horas, por Radio Nacional.Escuchar audio
