Tonight"s Jazz Feature is a tribute to the great arranger/composer/producer and music icon Quincy Delight Jones or simply "Q". Quincy passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles at age 91 on November 3, 2024. He was born in Chicago on March 14,1933. Quincy's incredible history is easily accessed on the internet. So we turn to the Jazz feature album and it's a big band recording of Quincy's distinctive arrangements and really put Quincy on the Jazz map. It was done in September of 1956 and titled "This Is How I Feel About Jazz". It got rave reviews and established Jones as a top notch arranger/composer along with his production skills. The band is full o all star players from trumpeters Art farmer and Ernie Royal to saxophonists Phil Woods, Zoot Sims and Lucky Thompson and trombone masters like Jimmy Cleveland and Urbie Green and pianist Hank Jones, vibes master Milt Jackson to bassists Paul Chambers and Charles Mingus. The album is a masterpiece of arrangements and leaves room for so many great soloists too. Enjoy the earlt important music of Quincy Jones.

Garner was known primarily as a solo pianist or by working in a trio, but early in his career he played as a sideman with several groups (strange, given that he didn't read music). Here we hear him small groups led by Wardell Gray, Don Byas, Charlie Parker and Lucky Thompson (also with Stuff Smith) and a big band led by Georgie Auld (with Dizzy Gillespie, Trummy Young, Al Cohn and Al Killian). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support

This week, the panel begins by dissecting The Golden Bachelor, the latest spin-off of the classic reality TV series starring a 72-year-old bachelor searching for love amongst a group of women in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. Sincerity ensues… or does it? Then, the three return to the ‘80s to discuss A24's re-release of Stop Making Sense, Jonathan Demme's seminal 1984 Talking Heads concert movie that's widely regarded as the apex of the genre. Finally, they investigate the celebrity apology video aesthetic, an artform that's been attempted—and by no means, perfected—by Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Russell Brand, and Drew Barrymore recently, as an unusual document of the times. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses the meme and viral TikTok trend, “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” and the ways it encourages a faux-performance of gender on the internet.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: In the spirit of revelatory live shows, Dana endorses The Bengsons, a folk-rock duo (by married couple Abigail and Shaun Bengson) whose recent concert she describes as “performance art.” Julia: “Stop Talking” by Miya Folick, one Julia's favorite songs from the 2023 Summer Strut Mega-mix, that exasperatedly laments about a friend whose brain space has been eaten up by some boy–and Folick doesn't want to hear about it anymore!  Stephen: Lucky in Paris by saxophonist Lucky Thompson, a relatively under-the-radar record that has become one of Stephen's top five jazz albums of all time.  Outro music: “On the Keys of Steel” by Dusty Decks.

The Oscar Pettiford Orchestra led by the great pioneering bassist and cellist was a short lived big band that existed for several months in 1957. This Jazz feature is our on going tribute to short-lived bands. Pettiford had always dreamed of having a big band and he was able achieve it for a short time with the assistance of player/arrangers like alto saxophonist Gigi Gryce and tenor saxophone great Lucky Thompson. The band had a unique sound with two French horns (Julius Watkins and David Amram) plus a harp (Betty Glamman). Well hear solos by Pettiford on bass and cello plus some fine moments by trumpeters Art Farmer and Ernie Royal and trombonist Jimmy Cleveland plus of course alto saxophonist Gigi Gryce and tenor saxophone master Lucky Thompson and pianist Tommy Flanagan and the French horns. A great bog band with inspired playing throughout. The Oscar Pettiford Orchestra on tap tonight!

This is a look at the sessions Dizzy Gillespie led in 1945 -46 without Charlie Parker. The Diz and Bird sides have received a lot of attention, but the recording dates that Parker wasn't hired (or just didn't show up) for are fascinating as well. Gillespie leads and is heavily featured on tunes with Don Byas, Lucky Thompson, Dexter Gordon, Trummy Young, Clyde Hart, Al Haig and someone who may or may not be Thelonious Monk. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support

In this episode, we feature saxophonist Lou Donaldson, vocalist Lorez Alexandria, and alto and soprano sax player Lucky Thompson.

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.

This edition of the Stan Kenton Orchestra was one of his finest and when this 7 part suite was commissioned by Stan for composer Johnny Richards, it was perfect timing. Richards was of Mexican and Cuban ancestry although born in the USA and this suite reflects his Latino heritage. Richards was a prolific writer and arranger and this suite is one of his finest works. The big Kenton Orchestra is augmented by 5 Latin percussionists to enhance the flavor of the music. The band in May 1956 when this was recorded was full of incredible soloists, Lucky Thompson, Bill Perkins, Carl Fontana, Sam Noto, Lennie Niehaus to name only a few. "Cuban Fire!" is loved even by non-Kenton fans! It is a magnificent orchestral work and is a worthy tribute to both Kenton and Richards. Caliente!!!!!!

This is a Birthday celebration to one of our great living Jazz Masters. Today (January 25) marks the 87th Birthday of tenor saxophonist/composer/arranger and Jazz Master Benny Golson. Golson has been a part of Jazz history since breaking into the bands of Tadd Dameron, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and then forming his own groups along with his important band The Jazztet with trumpeter Art Farmer. Tonight's Jazz Feature is an album that features his mellifluous tenor saxophone playing unfettered by complex arrangements hence the album's title..."Free". Golson is heard here with the "poet of the piano", Tommy Flanagan, bassist Ron Carter and the ubiquitous Arthur Taylor on drums. Two Golson originals are on this set and an intriguing original by obscure pianist Will Davis called "Sock Cha". The rest of the six tunes are made up of good quality standards. "Free" is a testament to the wonderful playing of Benny Golson who somehow combines the sound of his early mentors, Don Byas and Lucky Thompson with his very modern concept. No one sounds like Benny and a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Golson!

Even though he had been first and foremost as one of the world's finest Jazz drummers since 1934, Jo Jones didn't make his first recording under his own name until this date in August 1955. Tonight The Jazz Show celebrates what would have been Jo's 102nd Birthday. Jo or as he was known later in life as "Papa Jo" died at age 73 on September 3,1985. He was really the forerunner of Modern Jazz drumming.He did away with the "four on the floor" reliance on the bass drum and used the hi-hat cymbal (operated with the foot) to keep time and also the large "ride" cymbal and it gave the rhythm section room to breathe and be dynamic rather than just pound out a beat. This is a fine date with all of Jo's favorites including the great Lucky Thompson on tenor saxophone, trombonist Bennie Green...both modernists rooted in deep swing. Underrated trumpeter Emmett Berry is on board. The rhythm section is unbeatable...Freddie Green on guitar, Walter Page on bass, Nat Pierce on piano and of course Jo Jones on drums. Count Basie replaces Nat Pierce on the two wonderful takes of the old standard "Shoe Shine Boy". The Jo Jones Special Septet garnered some of the highest ratings when it was released in 1955 and it is still a classic today. Happy 102nd Birthday Papa Jo!

This great edition of the Kenton band performs one of composer/arranger Johnny Richards' masterpieces. It's a seven part suite called "Cuban Fire". Richards was born in Mexico of Spanish and Mexican parentage and this suite reflects not only his influences from the great modern classical composers like, Bartok, Stravinsky, Hindemith etc but also his Latino background. This edition of the Kenton band was fill of great soloists and they add to the expansive drama of this suite. Players like saxophonists, Lucky Thompson, Bill Perkins and Lennie Niehaus all solo here as do trombonists Carl Fontana, Bob Fitzpatrick and Kent Larsen. Trumpeters, Vinnie Tano and Sam Noto are heard as well . The Kenton band is driven by guitarist Ralph Blaze, bassist Curtis Counce and drum great Mel Lewis and is also driven by a Latin percussion ensemble and two tympani players. "Cuban Fire" is one of Kenton's best recordings and a favorite of people who don't really like the Kenton band! "Fuego Cubano!" on tap tonight!
