The jazz standard "All The Things You Are" has been performed countless times by master jazz vocalists, 30s big bands, bebop small groups, hard-bop combos, modern deconstructionists, and even soon-to-be Kings of Pop.

Photo Credit: Photo by Tom Pich/tompich.com¸ To celebrate Black History Month, we decided to mine the archives and revisit my interview with pianist, NEA Jazz Master and National Medal of Arts recipient Hank Jones. Born in 1918, Jones began performing by the time he was 13, and he continued performing and recording until his death in 2010. His career contains much of jazz history—with 60 solo albums and literally thousands on which he was a sideman. And his family history is entwined with jazz as well: two of his brothers--trumpeter Thad and drummer Elvin-- were great and well-known jazz musicians. Always in demand for record dates and tours, Hank Jones played and recorded with a who's who in the jazz world, including bandleaders like Coleman Hawkins, Billy Eckstine, Howard McGhee, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman and with artists such as Charlie Parker Lester Young, Cannonball Adderley, and Wes Montgomery. He was Ella Fitzgerald's accompanist for almost five years and served as the original pianist of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra. He was an eloquent and lyrical pianist with an unmistakable style. I spoke with him in 2008 when he had been awarded the National Medal of Arts, and as you'll hear, Hank Jones was elegant, humorous, and happy to talk about his extraordinary life in music. Enjoy!

In the '60s, Boots and his two siblings were raised in Berkeley, CA by a single mother. He ultimately connected with his father Howard "Maggie" McGhee who was one of the most talented instrumentalists, composers, and arrangers in the 1940s jazz scene. Santa Cruz is home for Boots and his wife. He is actively involved with the Surfrider Foundation keeping the beaches clean and serves as an ambassador in the lineup to ensure that surfers are respectful of one another and share the waves.

The drum chair and he who sits in it. Self taught developing your own style through craft and putting yourself in different musical settings. My guest today is from the same musical generation as John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery, Elvin Jones, Miles Davis, Tony Williams and Papa Joe Jones. He saw the continent of Asia early on cutting albums with Toshiko Akiyoshi, back in the states with Howard McGhee, Dorothy Ashby, Donald Byrd and Mongo Santamaria. We idolize the great drummers who have left us but my guest is one of the titans still putting in time on planet earth. Holding it down while Eric Alexander and Harold Maburn blow over the top. He's been smokin at the half note with Wynton Kelly or cooking up good vibes with Johnny Lytle. My guest hails from Washington DC but found himself on the cusp of the birth of cool, not smooth, cool. The kind of cool that makes you take notice and listen because of the use of cymbals or the brushes that give the song the feel of real people coalescing around a groove.

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, between bebop and hard-bop, between singles and LPs. It is . . . the ten-inch zone. The mid-fifties saw a transition away from 78s towards two kinds of "long-players" - 7 inch singles that ran as long as the old 10 inch 78s, and 12 inch LPs. For a brief period, the 10 inch LP was the medium of choice to release "popular" music, and tonight's podcast looks at six of these ten-inch releases (well, one dates from 2016 but has music from the mid-fifties). Gil Melle – GIL MELLE QUINTET VOL 4; Jay Jay Johnson – JAY JAY JOHNSON; Kenny Drew – VOL 1 INTRODUCING THE KENNY DREW TRIO; Wes Montgomery – LIVE AT THE TURF CLUB; Cal Tjader – CAL TJADER TRIO; Howard McGhee – HOWARD MCGHEE VOLUME TWO.
Tenor saxophonist Roland Alexander gets the Jazz Feature spotlight tonight. as our month of obscure records continues. This time most of the artists here including Mr. Alexander are undeservedly obscure. Roland worked and recorded with several leaders including trumpeter Howard McGhee, drummer Charlie Persip and His Jazz Statesmen , Max Roach, Sun Ra, and Abdullah Ibrahim among others but made only two albums under his own name and this is his first. It's called "Pleasure Bent" and also contains four fine Alexander originals. Roland picked the great Detroit based trumpeter Marcus Belgrave as his front line partner. Belgrave rarely went to New York as he had a great career teaching and playing in Detroit. Pianist Ronnie Mathews and bassist Gene tTaylor are acually better known than the leader and they work well on this date. Drummer Clarence "Scoby" Stroman was everybody's favorite in New York and was an always available sub for some drummers who were late for gigs or were no-shows but Scoby rarely got any record dates which was unfortunate but we get to hear him drive the band here with swing and taste, "Pleasure Bent" was one of the rarer items in the Prestige/New Jazz catalogue and was sought after as a "collector's item" by record buffs. Obscure or not...this is one fine recording session thanks to Roland Alexander and company.
Howard McGhee was one of the first trumpeters to play the new Jazz music of the 40s called Bebop. Howard came out of several big bands and played with Coleman Hawkins and even more importantly, Charlie Parker during Parker's time in California in 1946/47. McGhee was at the top of his game when he returned to New York and made some historic recordings with his friend Fats Navarro in the McGhee/Navarro Boptet. The 50s were up and down for McGhee and he made some good albums but was also dealing with a heavy drug problem which led to arrests and such. He emerged in the late 50s and began recording for various labels and was a member of James Moody's little band. McGhee was back! In 1961 he made the Jazz Feature recording we'll be hearing. It's called "Maggie's Back In Town". "Maggie" is Howard's nickname. Howard picked the genius of the piano, Phineas Newborn Jr. and bass great Leroy Vinnegar and on drums the creative Shelly Manne for this fine date made up of a few originals and standards all well chosen. It's one of McGhee's most personal dates and demonstrates his unique style which while modern has traces of "old school" trumpet playing. Maggie at his best. Tonight we celebrate his birthday...March 6, 1918. McGhee died in 1987 at age 69.

Most people think that "burlesque" means female strippers walking a runway to bump and grind beat. But that only fits the form in its declining years. At its best, burlesque was a rich source of music and comedy that kept America, audiences laughing from 1840 through the 1960s. Some sources try to wrap burlesque in a mantle of pseudo-intellectual respectability. Yes, it involved transgressive comedy and songs, but the primary attraction of burlesque was sex . . in the form of ribald humor and immodestly dressed women. Although many dismissed burlesque as the tail-end of show business, its influence reaches through the development of popular entertainment into the present.
