For this bonus episode, the Shakespeare and Company podcast welcomes Jeremy Pelt, renowned jazz trumpeter and author of Griot: Examining the Lives of Jazz Great Storytellers. In conversation with Alex Freiman, Pelt discusses the evolution of jazz, the influence of oral traditions, and the importance of documenting firsthand accounts from legendary musicians. Reflecting on his early days at Berklee, his experiences touring worldwide, and his deep reverence for jazz elders like Roy Haynes and Wayne Shorter, Pelt shares insights into both the triumphs and struggles of jazz musicians. He also addresses the debate over the term “jazz,” the intersection of jazz and hip-hop, and the ongoing challenge of preserving the music's integrity in an industry that often sidelines its true practitioners. Listen in for a compelling exploration of jazz history, culture, and the passion that fuels one of its modern torchbearers.*Jeremy Pelt has become one of the preeminent young trumpeters within the world of jazz. Forging a bond with the Mingus Big Band very early on, as his career progressed, Pelt built upon these relationships and many others which eventually lead to collaborations with some of the genre's greatest masters. These projects include performances and recordings with Cliff Barbaro, Keter Betts, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Ravi Coltrane, Frank Foster, Winard Harper, Jimmy Heath, Vincent Herring, John Hicks, Charli Persip, Ralph Peterson, Lonnie Plaxico, Bobby Short, Cedar Walton, Frank Wess, Nancy Wilson and The Skatalites, to name a few.Pelt frequently performs alongside such notable ensembles as the Roy Hargrove Big Band, The Village Vanguard Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Big Band, and is a member of the Lewis Nash Septet and The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band featuring Louis Hayes. As a leader, Pelt has recorded ten albums and has toured globally with his various ensembles, appearing at many major jazz festivals and concert venues.Pelt's recordings and performances have earned him critical acclaim, both nationally and internationally. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal by legendary jazz writer and producer, Nat Hentoff, and was voted Rising Star on the trumpet, five years in a row by Downbeat Magazine and the Jazz Journalist Association. Pelt is currently touring throughout the United States and Europe in support of his latest release, "Soundtrack".Alex Freiman is a guitarist, composer, and singer trained at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Drawing from jazz, blues, soul, and funk, he masterfully blends these influences with energy and virtuosity, creating music that is both groovy and sophisticated. After collaborating with major figures on the French and international scenes, including Stéphane Belmondo, he released his debut album as a leader, Play It Gentle, in 2017. Recorded with Léon Parker (drums), Fred Nardin (organ), and special guest Stéphane Belmondo, this album reflects his passion for improvisation and sonic elegance. Constantly seeking innovation, he launched Alex Freiman & The Hot Sauce, an explosive project where jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop intertwine. His EP In The Beginning (September 2024) marks the start of a new musical era, followed by the singles We Are One (January 2025), featuring rapper Tiemoko, and This Is The Hot Sauce (March 2025), affirming his vibrant and innovative musical identity. In 2025, Alex Freiman continues his groove exploration with a new album and fresh collaborations. Alex Freiman & The Hot Sauce will also be performing in Paris and across France, delivering electrifying shows where improvisation and energy collide.Listen to Alex Freiman's latest EP, In The Beginning: https://open.spotify.com/album/5iZYPMCUnG7xiCtsFCBlVa?si=h5x3FK1URq6SwH9Kb_SO3w Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Following last week's big reveal of who killed Joel, our latest bonus podcast dives into Coronation Street's rich history with whodunnits. Our favourite soap has been keeping viewers guessing about killers' identities as far back as the 1960s, with some of the most iconic examples including the murder of Frank Foster and, of course, the tragic death of Rana Habeeb in the Underworld roof collapse. But it's not just murders we discuss - we also revisit times Corrie gave us suspect lists for other crimes, like when Ken was pushed down the stairs and when Adam was bludgeoned in the Bistro. So, what makes a great soap whodunnit? And which ones are our absolute favourites? That's exactly what we explore in this week's episode!

Tonight's Jazz Feature is a very fine recording from the mid-fifties that typifies New York modern Jazz of the time. The people involved are the leader, legendary pianist/composer Elmo Hope who in many ways is as important to the development of piano as Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell although he didn't get the same notoriety. For the fist 3 tunes the group is a quintet with tenor saxophone great Frank Foster and a fine lesser known trumpeter named Freeman Lee. On bass is John Ore and on drums is New York's Arthur Taylor. The set was done for Prestige Records in on Oct.4, 1955. The quintet plays one composition by Hope and 2 by Foster. That is the formal part of the date. The final 3 tunes are by Foster, Hope, Ore and Taylor and are all likely first takes created on the spot. Both sets are solid Jazz without compromise and bring in all the qualities of great Jazz....good solos, cohesion, swing and assertive playing by all. This was an album I grew up with and is still meaningful to me and I hope it is to you. Enjoy "Hope Meets Foster".

Jazz is one of America's most original art forms. Its origins are well documented but controversy regarding ownership and race vs. skill persist. The opinions that matter most are offered by the practitioners. Jon Hendricks, Frank Foster, Lionel Hampton, Clark Terry and Louis Bellson weigh in on the topic of jazz and race.
In the early days of jazz, musicians engaged in group improvisations, creating arrangements on the fly. As bands became larger, the writing down of parts for individual players became a requirement. Present and past jazz arrangers including Stefon Harris, Mike Abene, Ray Conniff, Bill Holman and Frank Foster speak about their craft.
We had the great fortune of meeting saxophonist Keith Loftis when he was playing with The Baylor Project this spring at Earl Klugh's 20th Weekend of Jazz at The Broadmoor. We knew then that we wanted to continue our backstage conversation in a formal ATJ episode. Over the course of his musically wide-ranging career, Keith's performed with the likes of Benny Carter, Cedar Walton, Nancy Wilson, Frank Foster, Alvin Batiste, Clark Terry, Bobby Shew, Joe Williams and Ray Charles; he's traveled extensively around the globe performing regularly throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and parts of the Middle East with legendary South African Jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim; master drummer Michael Carvin; the Roy Hargrove Big Band and the Frank Foster Loud Minority Big Band.

And if that weren't enough, Keith's also a touring member of 4x Grammy award winning bassist Christian McBride's A Christian McBride Situation and The Christian McBride Big Band. We talk with Keith not only about his eclectic and fascinating background, but about one of our personal favorite albums, his 2021 release ‘Original State'.

Fortunately for me, I had the pleasure to work with so many great artists and being able to collaborate with so many artists over the years.15:33 – Fortunately, I did get to play in a lot of the big bands. When I was a youngster, I attended Jazzmobile in Harlem. And that was where I got formal jazz training, studying under Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster and Ernie Wilkins. My training has served me well. 20:20 – There are so many stories, I do not know if I can name one.

Frank Foster has called him "a walking jazz history book". Early in his career he managed the Basie alumni band, The Countsmen and for 17 years ran the Jazz at The West End jazz room on Broadway at 114th St in New York City. He attended Columbia University and during his freshman year began broadcasting jazz on the Columbia University radio station, WKCR-FM, and he has been a radio broadcaster ever since.The jazz critic Stanley Crouch once wrote that, “There is no person in America more dedicated to any art form than today's guest is to jazz. He is the Mr. Memory of jazz, and, as with the Mister memory character in “The Thirty-Nine Steps,” the Hitchcock movie, there are those who think he ought to be shot. He can get on your nerves, but, then, you can get on his.” It is my honor to introduce today's guest, Phil Schaap. Welcome to the show Phil.

Pianist/composer Thelonious Monk was and still is one of the most important figures in Modern Jazz. In the 1950s he was neglected by the critics and many musicians. He did have his supporters in both fraternities but work was scarce and his records didn't sell and his music was never heard on Jazz radio. Tonight the Jazz Show presents two pivotal recording sessions that are now classics although they were pretty well ignored in their time. The first is Monk's final session for Blue Note from May of 1952. This well organized date was for a sextet with trumpeter Kenny Dorham and saxophonists Lou Donaldson and Lucky Thompson on alto and tenor respectively. Nelson Boyd on bass and the great Max Roach on drums and Mr. Monk. Five then new tunes were recorded and a trio track. The second session was one of his most relaxed and successful for Prestige Records done in 1954. A fine quintet with trumpeter Ray Copeland, a Monk favourite and a then new voice on the New York scene, tenor saxophonist Frank Foster. They blend well. Curly Russell is on bass and Monk's best buddy, Art Blakey is on drums. Three new Monk tunes are presented here and one great old standard, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is given a wonderful Monkish treatment. This was not a working band but it sounded like one. Early Monk from 1952 and 1954 in super form tonight. The beginning of a month long series of Jazz features with Thelonious Monk.
