Short List with host Bob Naujoks
Monday – Friday at 8:35 AM and Saturdays at 7 AM
Basses Loaded: LeRoy Vinnegar
Bassist Leroy Vinnegar was one of the stalwarts in “West Coast Jazz.” More than that, he was the epitome of a “walking bass” player. His steady and creative 4/4 time was heard on hundreds of recordings in the 1950s and 1960s. He was on two monster jazz releases – Shelly Manne’s My Fair Lady and Les McCann and Eddie Harris’ Swiss Movement – both top sellers.
Jazz Corner of the World with host Craig Kessler
Mondays from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Interpretations of Thelonious Monk
For our annual birthday celebration to commemorate Monk’s October 10th birthday, Craig will play Monk as interpreted by a number of famous, and some lesser known jazz artists. We’ll hear Monk tunes as played by Miles, Coltrane, Geri Allen, Frank Kimbrough, Ron Miles, Roswell Rudd, Frank Carlberg, Steve Lacy, and many more. It’s a refreshing approach to celebrating Monk’s music!
Wednesday Night Special
Wednesdays at 6:00 PM
Soul Sherpa at Jazz Under the Stars
Soul Sherpa laid down some serious groove to a hot August night at the second 2019 Jazz Under the Stars party. The local funkmasters got the Noelridge Park crowd dancing on the lawn with original songs and covers of classic funk, soul, and fusion hits.

Jazz Corner of the World with host Craig Kessler
