And The Wizard of Oz raised the art of the film score to new standards with the talented team of Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg. The Jim Cullum Jazz Band and guests visit America’s postDepression culture, performing 1939 pop tunes.

THE ANNALS OF JAZZ WITH RICHARD HADLOCK Sundays at 7 pm

The sound of surprise describes both jazz itself and the enduring premise of "The Annals of Jazz." Since 1959, host Richard Hadlock has been improvising on historical themes and bringing forth worthy performers—from Armstrong to Zorn.

Each Sunday, we may find Annals in Europe, Asia, Latin America or Back of Town anywhere.

JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Monday at 9 pm 6/4

Jazz In Song: The Words

6/11 Jazz In Song: The Singing Instrumentalists Many jazz instrumentalists have stepped into the singer's role—Fats Waller, Nat "King" Cole (pictured), Jack Teagarden, and Chet Baker, to name a few. With their mastery of phrasing, such musicians have transferred their talents into song in distinctive ways.

6/18 Jazz In Song: The Jazz Standard 6/25 Vocalist Carmen McRae Carmen McRae (pictured) was an outstanding song stylist whose great strength was in her phrasing and interpretation of lyrics. She was also an excellent pianist, whose personal approach and musicianship developed during her occasional performances at Minton's Playhouse during the early years of bebop.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER WITH WENDELL PIERCE Tuesday at 9 pm 6/5

McCoy Tyner and Ravi Coltrane

6/12 Nursery Song Swing The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra try their hand at another book of classics – these standards include Chicken Rhythm, Three Blind Mice and Liza Jane. Wynton and the orchestra give a big band twist to children’s classics. Guest soloist, 16 year old saxophonist Grace Kelly (pictured), 17 year old tenor saxophonist/clarinetist Carl Majeau and 13 year old violinist Jonathan Russell join Wynton on stage.

The perfect way to end the school year and start the summer!

6/19 Monty Alexander: Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra 6/26 Soul Jazz of the 60s In the nineteen sixties — as rock music was changing the pop world — saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, pianist Horace Silver and drummer Art Blakey drew bebop, rhythm and blues, and gospel into a powerful small-group sound.

Alto saxophonist Wess "Warmdaddy " Anderson and drummer Kenny Washington lead inspired sets in tribute to their soulful predecessors.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet

6/13 Rickie Lee Jones Two-time Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Rickie Lee Jones has been pushing down musical boundaries for over four decades with her hauntingly beautiful voice and fearless experimentation. She has carved her own unique path, collaborating with artists from Alison Krauss to Dr. John. On this Song Travels, Jones employs her sultry, dynamic voice to sing some of the standards that have inspired her along the way.

6/20 Wayne Brady

Wayne Brady became a household name improvising on the popular TV show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? The singer/actor/dancer/comedian has also appeared in the stage productions Rent and Chicago, and he became host of the game show Let's Make a Deal in 2009. On this week’s Song Travels, Brady discusses his two major musical influences: Sammy Davis Jr. and Sam Cooke. With his musical director Cat Gray at the piano, Brady performs the Cooke classic, You Send Me, and Feinstein joins Brady in a duet of It’s Only a Paper Moon.

6/27 Songwriters Marilyn and Alan Bergman

JAZZSET WITH DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER Thursday at 9 pm 6/7

Russell Malone Trio at the KC Jazz Club, Washington, DC In his current guitar/bass/drums trio—"not having the piano there taking up all that space," Russell says—Malone lets the music breathe into his full, round, rich tone. This is not to say that he doesn't play exuberantly. He uses his most amazing chops to serve the songs. The up tempo tunes swing, the ballads melt.

6/14 Trumpeter Sean Jones at the Detroit Jazz Festival 6/21 Tribute to Abbey Lincoln from

Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves and

Cassandra Wilson at the Kennedy Center Abbey's musical daughters sing her songbook: Bird Alone and It's Supposed To Be Love (Reeves), Wholly Earth and Another World (Bridgewater), Throw It Away and Talking to the Sun (Wilson), I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
