Joe Alterman, a 31-year-old Jewish man from Atlanta, has carved out a space for himself among the jazz piano greats he grew up idolizing. After seeing Oscar Peterson perform live at Birdland, an iconic jazz venue, and going on to earn a Master's Degree in Music, Joe found himself on the same stage. Nat Hentoff - widely considered the most influential writer in jazz history - wrote his final piece for the Wall Street Journal about Joe. Speaking about that article, Hentoff said, "[Joe] is really the personification of the past of jazz - he's really deep into that -, the present of jazz - he has his own voice - and that leads him into the future of jazz... [he] makes recordings that are 'beyond category' because they're timeless." Bill Nigut called Joe earlier in the pandemic to discuss Joe's background and life in quarantine.

Jessica Hentoff is quick to insist that the primary focus of Circus Harmony, the St. Louis-based organization she heads up, isn’t to turn kids into top-notch circus professionals. And yet the program has a track record of doing just that — even as it changes lives in other ways, too. This fall, a total of four Circus Harmony alumni are touring with Cirque du Soleil, the largest circus company in the world. They include St. Louis natives Melvin Diggs, Sidney ‘Iking’ Bateman, Terrance ‘T-Roc’ Robinson and Chauncey Kroner. Hentoff couldn’t be more proud of them — and just returned from travels to Vancouver and Chicago this past weekend where she watched them perform. In this segment, Hentoff talks with host Sarah Fenske will talk with Hentoff about the success the program and its participants have seen. The conversation also includes comments from Bateman and Diggs.

The new show includes 20 performers, aged 10 to 22. Overall, the organization serves 1,400 people in the area each year. While Circus Harmony is a professional training school, Hentoff said the organization’s main purpose is social. “… And to help these kids so that what they learn in the circus ring will travel with them throughout their lives, whether they go on to circus careers or whatever they choose to do.” A social circus involves the teaching and performing of circus arts to motivate social change.

The Boston-born journalist wrote primarily on First Amendment issues for the Village Voice for 50 years, but was also a renowned jazz critic and historian.
