Composer John Williams is the defining sound of Hollywood and, arguably, the most widely listened to composer in the world. Kirk decided he needed some help tackling Williams' towering musical legacy, so he enlisted Australian author and musician Dan Golding as his tour guide through Williams' musical world, with a special focus on his groundbreaking score for 1980's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.REFERENCED ON THIS EPISODE:Dan's book Star Wars After Lucas, his ABC radio show Screen Sounds and his podcast Art of the Score"Liberdade" by Dili Allstars"Celebration" from Push Me Pull You by Dan Golding, 2016The Adventures of Robin Hood score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, 1938Excerpts from Untitled Goose Game as assembled by Dan Golding"Right Time" by Mighty Diamonds/Sly & Robbie, 1976"Peter Gunn" by Henry Mancini, 1959"1.

Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting

Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting returns with an episode about superstar trumpeter Chet Baker.  Baker rose to fame in the 1950's as the prince of cool jazz, and recorded some truly beautiful music.  The episode covers his early recordings with Gerry Mulligan's quartet, his early recordings as a bandleader, and some from later in his career, post-comeback.  Enjoy!

This week's episode is about the music of trumpeter Don Cherry.  Cherry is best known for his work alongside Ornette Coleman, pushing the boundaries of freedom in the jazz context.  The episode features music from his time in Ornette's band, some of his own work as a leader of some great free music, and a bit of his more world-music tinged offerings.   Questions?

This week's episode is about the bassist Henry Grimes.  Grimes was a Juliard-trained musician, who took an interest in free jazz in the 1960's, who disappeared from the music world for three and a half decades.  It features music from his early, conventional playing, from the peak of the free jazz movement, and music he made during his triumphant return in the 2000's.  Questions? Comments? Requests? email me at WNPMPod@gmail.com

This week's episode is about the music of George Russell, a pianist and composer who was the first jazz musician to publish a book of the theory of jazz: The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization   Russell's theories, though presented somewhat esoterically, were incredibly influential in the development of modal jazz, and the music that he created in the late 50's and early 60s- the primary focus of this episode- is brilliant and beautiful. Playlist here: wednesdaynightprayermeeting.wordpress.com/2020/05/21/george-russell-playlist/ Youtuber Bebop Review is currently putting together an incredibly thorough and engaging multi-part series on Russell's Lydian Chromatic Concept...

This week's episode is about bassist Reggie Workman, who in the last year was named an NEA Jazz Master, and received a Guggenheim fellowship for music composition.  Workman has played with John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Archie Shepp, and many more, and this episode features music from throughout his career.   Playlist here:https://wednesdaynightprayermeeting.wordpress.com/2020/05/14/reggie-workman-playlist-wednesday-night-prayer-meeting-jazz-podcast/ Questions?

This week's episode is about the pianist and composer Herbie Nichols.  I first learned of Nichols' music in a book called Four Lives in the Bebop Business by A.B. Spellman, an incredible book that has sections on Nichols, Cecil Taylor, Jackie McLean, and Ornette Coleman.  Get a copy here: https://www.powells.com/book/-9780879100421 Playlist for the episode here: https://wednesdaynightprayermeeting.wordpress.com/2020/05/07/herbie-nichols-playlist-wednesday-night-prayer-meeting-jazz-podcast/ Questions?

In light of the orders to stay at home and honor social distancing, I thought it would be appropriate to share come incredible unaccompanied solo performances, and to dwell a bit on the beauty that can be created all alone.  This episode features performances by Duke Ellington, Andrew Hill, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Sun Ra, and more.  Lots of piano pieces, but some cello, electric piano, trumpet, and trombone performances for variety.   Playlist here: https://wednesdaynightprayermeeting.wordpress.com/2020/04/07/solo-jazz-wednesday-night-prayer-meeting-jazz-podcast-playlist/ Questions?

To make up for missing putting out an episode last week, I made an extra long episode this week about the incredible drummer Max Roach. Max Roach was at the forefront of jazz from the beginning his career in the 1940s to the end of his life, and played in a wide variety of styles.  This episode focuses mostly on his music in the late 50s and early 60s, with a little from before and after.

This week's episode is about the music of trumpeter and flugelhorn player Art Farmer.  At a time when nine out of ten trumpeters were trying to sound like Dizzy Gillespie or Miles Davis, Farmer blazed his own path, and developed a soft, thoughtful, beautifully melodic style with a keen sensitivity for dynamic and timbral range. Please forgive the fairly minimal commentary for this episode, I'm fighting a sore throat/cough and so kept things brief Playlist here: https://wednesdaynightprayermeeting.wordpress.com/2020/03/18/art-farmer-wednesday-night-prayer-meeting-jazz-podcast-playlist/   Questions?

This week's episode is about the music of the incredible pianist and arranger Gil Evans.  Gil Evans bridged the divide between prewar big band music and post-war bebop, and is best known for his work with Miles Davis on Miles' incredible, beautiful, groundbreaking orchestral albums, widely known as the best make-out albums ever created.   Featuring songs from his work with Miles, his work arranging for other artists, and from his own albums as a bandleader.   Playlist here: https://wednesdaynightprayermeeting.wordpress.com/2020/03/04/gil-evans-playlist-wednesday-night-prayer-meeting-jazz-podcast/ Questions?

Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting is back after hiatus with an episode celebrating the music of Art Blakey, in honor of the 100 year anniversary of his birth last Friday.  Blakey is best known as the leader of the Jazz Messengers, a group that launched the careers of dozens of young jazz musicians, including Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, McCoy Tyner, and many many more.  This episode features music from the Messengers, as well as a few tracks from Blakey's drumming with Thelonious Monk.  Playlist here Questions? Comments? Requests? E-mail wnpmpod@gmail.com

This week's episode is not focused on any particular artist, but instead a collection of songs that didn't make it into other episodes, or songs I've come across that have struck me as worth sharing by artists that I'm not sure I could put a whole episode together about.  A wide variety of jazz is covered, from the astonishingly beautiful episode opener by the Rene Hall Orchestra to music by pod favorites like Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy, Grachan Moncur III and more.   Questions?

Christ came in the world to save sinners.

This week's episode of WNPM is about the Newport Jazz Festival, which has taken place every summer in Newport, Rhode Island since it was founded in 1954.  It starts with the performance of Round Midnight that catapulted Miles Davis into (further) stardom, and continues with my selections of some of the best performances I've come across recorded at the festival, including songs by Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Misha Mengleberg, and many more.  The last set of songs is from Charles Mingus' performances at Newport, along with one song from a record called Newport Rebels, which features musicians who joined Mingus at the alternative festival that Mingus arranged to compete with the Newport Festival, on the same weekend as and across town from the 1960 festival. 

This week's episode is about one of the most celebrated associations in jazz, that between trumpeter Miles Davis and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane.  It features music from their early albums together, where the veteran Miles led the novice Coltrane through some pretty straight ahead but masterful bebop, through Coltrane's maturity as a solo voice, to their work together on albums like Jazz Track and Kind of Blue, where they developed the revolutionary modal approach to jazz improvisation. Beautiful music, all throughout.  Enjoy!

I've been having a busy, busy week, so decided to take a week off the podcast and re-upload this early episode of Out There. I've been listening to the incredible music Mr. Moncur created a lot lately and wanted to share it again for anyone who might have missed it the first time around.  Next week: Miles Davis and John Coltrane

This week's episode of WNPM is a little different than usual.  Rather than focusing on a single artist, I wanted to play some music by a few different trombonists.  The musicians featured are Jimmy Knepper, Curtis Fuller, Julian Priester, and Grachan Moncur III, and the songs played are from their own albums as a leader as well as albums they appear on by John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and more.    Requests? Questions? Comments?  Leave a voice message at (424) 704-1666 or email wnpmpod@gmail.com!

This week's episode of Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting, the last in a series of episodes about the members of Miles Davis' second great quintet, is about the most prolific member of the group, Ron Carter.  Throughout his career Carter has appeared on more than 2000 records, and this episode focuses mainly on the albums he was recording before and around the time that he was playing with Miles.  Enjoy!

This week's episode of Out There is a little bit of a continuation of the last Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting, focusing on drummer Tony Williams.  Williams started drumming professionally at age 13, and by 19 was a member of Miles Davis' quintet.  His flowing, angular style was something of an avant garde middle ground between conventional bebop drumming and the all-out free style of drummers like Sunny Murray and Milford Graves.  Features music from his solo albums, his albums with Miles Davis, Grachan Moncur III, and Andrew Hill.  If you have any questions or comments, call the WNPM/Out There voicemail box at (424) 704-1666 or email wnpmpod@gmail.com

This week's episode of Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting is about Miles Davis' second great quintet with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, five musicians who elevated the possibilities of group interplay to unprecedented heights. 

This week's episode of WNPM is about a true original, Thelonious Monk.  Monk was instrumental in the birth of bebop, as the house pianist at Minton's Playhouse, where the style was developed, yet unlike some of his Minton's contemporaries-especially Bird and Diz-it took a long time for a wider audience to appreciate his work.  Nonetheless, Monk continued to play and to compose beautiful, unusual, eclectic, eccentric music, and put together a body of work that stands today as testament to his genius.

This week's episode of WNPM is about the music of John Coltrane's quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones, featuring music from their albums A Love Supreme, Crescent, Live at Birdland, and more.  Also, I set up a Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting voicemail box to encourage some audience participation.  Questions? Requests? Comments? Suggestions for future shows? Call (424) 704-1666 and leave a message, or email WNPMPod@gmail.com

Another episode about the music of Charles Mingus, this time focusing on what I think of as the beginning of his maturity as a musician and bandleader, from 1957-1962.  Featuring music from his albums Ah Um, Mingus Dynasty, Blues and Roots, Live at Antibes, and more

This week's episode of Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting is about Lee Morgan, a trumpeter whose prolific output was sadly stopped early, when he was shot to death between sets by his wife, over an apparent affair.  His style strikes an interesting balance between interesting future-minded experimental ideas and great memorable, soulful, catchy hitmaking. 

This week's episode of WNPM is about Jaki Byard, a pianist who played in some of Charles Mingus' most creatively dense groups in the early 60s before launching his own career as a bandleader. He was an incredibly versatile and eclectic stylist, and recorded dozens of albums as a leader and sideman.

This week's episode of WNPM is about Philly Joe Jones, one of the most prolific drummers in jazz, best known for his time in Miles Davis first great quintet.  Featuring tracks from his work with Tadd Dameron, John Coltrane, Miles, Freddie Hubbard, and as a bandleader in his own right. 

This week's episode of WNPM is about the music of Freddie Hubbard, a prolific trumpeter who burst on to the New York jazz scene in 1958 and recorded with some of the most innovative players on the scene, including John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, Art Blakey, Bobby Hutcherson, Ornette Coleman, and dozens more. 

This weeks episode of the Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting Jazz Podcast is about an incredible trumpeter, Booker Little.  Though he only lived to be 23 years old, he left behind a body of work that it is among the finest examples of the instrument's use, recording with Max Roach, Eric Dolphy, and many more

This week's episode of Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting is about Hampton Hawes, a pianist from Los Angeles whose early friendship with Charlie Parker led to his becoming one of the most interesting West Coast players in early bebop music

This week's episode of Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting is about the early work of Charles Mingus, from the middle 1940s to 1956 when he signed with Atlantic records, and features his work as a leader and as a sideman in the bands of Miles Davis, Teddy Charles, Red Norvo (about whom a story from Mingus' autobiography Beneath The Underdog is shared) and more!

This episode of WNPM is about the early music of Sonny Rollins, and features tracks from his time in the bands of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Bud Powell, and from his albums as a leader, up to the Freedom Suite

This week's episode of Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting is about the great jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown, and features tracks from his time in the Tadd Dameron Orchestra, his quintet with Max Roach, and his albums with Sonny Rollins and others.  

This weeks episode of WNPM is a classic episode, not focused on any particular artist or theme, but just a bunch of great jazz as you might come across it buying albums, exploring the genre.  I play some Miles Davis, Sam Rivers, Martial Soloal, Charles Mingus, and many more.  In jazz reissue news, BBE records just announced the release of a box set of Charles Mingus recordings, from a radio broadcast of his week long engagement at the Strata Concert Gallery in Detroit, 1973. Pre-order here:http://www.bbemusic.com/news/the-lost-tapes-charles-mingus-live-in-detroit/

Legendary jazz saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter turned 85 years old this past Saturday, so I decided it would be a good time to do an episode about his music.  Featuring music from his albums as a leader and as a sideman with Miles Davis, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and more.  One of the last living greats from the revolutionary changes that jazz underwent in the 60s, Shorter still tours to this day.  

This week's episode of WNPM is about the music of Charles Mingus.  Hearing Mingus' music was like a revelation for me, it set me on the path of digging deep into the music, and without it I would never have come to explore it so much as to be able to put together a podcast like this in the first place.  Revisiting his music closely to choose the tracks for this episode was a true pleasure, and reminded me of the incredible potential music has to express incomprehensible beauty; I hope you enjoy it! 

This episode of WNPM is an exploration of jazz ballads and features the music of Booker Little, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Jaki Byard, and many more.  

This episode is about the music of one of the most prolific figures in the history of american music, Mr.  Duke Ellington, both as performed by the Duke himself, and as interpreted by a handful of other artists, including Charles Mingus, Mary Lou Williams, Charlie Haden and more.  Ellingron may have passed on years ago, but his music remains a reminder that he loves us, dear listeners, madly!

This week's Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting is all trios, featuring Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Red Norvo, Bud Powell and more.  Help support the show by visiting patreon.com/wednesdaynightprayermeeting

I'm going to be on vacation this week, so decided to redo the pilot episode of this program since i hadnt uploaded it yet, because it has some of my very favorite jazz tunes, plus a little blues at the ending.  Featuring John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Leadbelly, Art Davis and many more.  If you like the show please visit patreon.com/wednesdaynightprayermeeting and make a donation!

This week I focus on bebop, starting with some soloists: Charlie Christian, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Art Blakey, then focus on some composers: Tadd Dameron, Thelonious Monk, and Clifford Brown.  

Episode 4, with Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Charlie Parker, and many more!  Help support the podcast by donating at patreon.com/wednesdaynightprayermeeting

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the leading scientist Professor Sir Tom Blundell. His specialism is in molecular biology, which involves studying the tiniest building blocks of life under a microscope, in the hope of finding treatments for diseases such as cancer and diabetes. It is a hugely visual kind of science, and this, he says, is no coincidence - he loves science first and foremost for its beauty. He regularly seeks this beauty beyond the laboratory too; in art, in music and in travelling all over the world. One very special trip was to Africa for his wedding, after which he was somewhat surprised at being asked to pay for his Zimbabwean bride - a fellow academic - in cows. As a working class student at Oxford in the 1960s, he developed a fascination with politics, and at one point this activism threatened to overwhelm his life completely. When forced to choose between science and politics, he says he realised that politics was simply too hard. In recent years, he has finally been able to combine the two, by chairing numerous government science committees, and making key recommendations on issues as diverse as mad cow disease and climate change.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting by Charles Mingus Book: Lessons in Ndebele by J.
