(The Sound of) Food, Glorious Food (on the Next Edition of All This Jazz)

Tune in for All This Jazz on Saturday the 17th at 10pm, right here on Public Radio 89.5-1.

As ever, we'll offer two solid hours of modern jazz, both recent and classic.

And for our program's second-hour theme, with Thanksgiving just around the bend, we'll serve up such tasty/tuneful tracks as "Cornbread" by Lee Morgan, "Cheese Cake" by Dexter Gordon, "Carvin' the Bird" by Charlie Parker, "Fried Pies" by Wes Montgomery, and much more.

It'll be quite the feast --- a full plate, a dessert dish, and then some --- for jazz fans near and far. Please join us.

On the Next ATJ: Great Trumpeters, Then and Now

Hear ye, hear ye, folks:

On the next edition of All This Jazz, come Saturday the 3rd at 10pm on Public Radio 89.5-1, we'll offer a terrific show from our archives.

I say "terrific" because the second-hour theme of the program is such a mighty fine one. Said theme is "Great Trumpet Players, Then and Now," and therefore we'll hear from the likes of Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Woody Shaw (pictured here), Ingrid Jensen and Dave Douglas, and more. Please join us.
