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."

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

Misha Mengelberg Memorial Show

Pianist, composer and bandleader Misha Mengelberg was one of the most influential European jazz musicians of the modern era. Best known for his work as a sideman with Horace Silver and Max Roach, master tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan recorded some of the most original post-bop of the 1960s and 70s.

6/10 Grachan Moncur III

A trombonist steeped in hard bop, Grachan Moncur III made bold strides into the avantgarde through the 1960s with everyone from Archie Shepp to Jackie McClean. His Blue Note records and many of his appearances as a sideman are considered classics.

6/17 Louis Moholo-Moholo

A powerful and creative drummer, Louis Moholo-Moholo is one of the great voices of South African jazz. In the 60s and 70s, he served as a bridge between the exile community in England and the local players, and has recorded with virtually everyone in the European free jazz scene.

6/24 Arthur Blythe Memorial Show

In the late 1970s, alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe built a bridge between the excitement and freedom of new jazz and the language and feeling of the music’s roots, appealing to a broad audience with his distinctive sound and energetic improvisations.

JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Thursday at 9 pm 6/6

Duke Ellington: The Legacy and Influence

Was it the songs, the sounds, the “sacred concerts,” or simply the style? Practically every guest involved in this examination of the life of Duke Ellington consider his lasting contributions…which invariably touch on the topic of race, such as Dr. Billy Taylor’s assertion that “Duke Ellington took the African American experience and placed it squarely in the center of his music—and in so doing made it a uniquely American music.” Others take turns defining “The Ellington Effect.”

6/13 Charlie Parker, Part 1

Alto saxophonist Charles “Yardbird” Parker was a self-taught innovator who could fly higher and cut deeper than any other musician of his day. Parker pioneered the bebop movement in jazz with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and influenced generations of musicians. This program focuses on “Bird” the improviser, and traces his instrumental virtuosity from his early days in Kansas City to his bebop experiments in New York to his ill-fated trip to Los Angeles in 1945.

6/20 Charlie Parker, Part 2

The concluding half of this trip focuses on Bird’s influence on other musicians, his celebrated return to New York, his superstar acceptance in Europe, his experimentations with strings, and his premature, tragic death. Interviewees include Jackie McLean and Mitch Miller.

6/27 Ray Brown

In a career that spanned over fifty years, bassist Ray Brown performed in virtually every major nightclub and concert hall in the world. This Grammy award-winning double bass player took part in early bop recording sessions with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell. He toured with Ella Fitzgerald as her music director during the late ‘40s, and had a long-time affiliation with pianist Oscar Peterson. Renowned for his precision, the beauty of his tone, and the elegance of his solos, Brown also established himself as one of the leading bassists in the bop style.
