The Wednesday Night Special
Wednesdays at 6:00 PM
Lew Soloff at Kirkwood
Trumpeter Lew Soloff’s dynamic and innovative playing made him a jazz legend. He traded licks with Maynard Ferguson, and gigged with the likes of Jimmy Heath and Dizzy Gillespie. He helped push jazz into the mainstream with his long tenure with Blood, Sweat & Tears (that’s his scorching solo on “Spinning Wheel”). And in 2013, he took the stage with the Kirkwood Jazz Ensemble and the CR Jazz Big Band.
Jazz Night in America

Christian Scott’s “Stretch Music”
Host Christian McBride takes us to New Orleans, and spends time with trumpeter Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah. This lifelong resident of the Big Easy blends the city’s myriad musical cultures into his own artistic reality. He calls it “stretch music” – a hybrid of styles with a deep underlay of groove.

Muse Records, Part One
Host Craig Kessler takes a first look at this rather extensive label that operated between 1972 and 1995, with some 560-plus titles in its catalog. Owner Joe Fields made this a veritable blue collar, meat-and-potatoes jazz label, sporting terrific artists such as Don Patterson, Sonny Stitt, Etta Jones, Charles Earland, Pat Martino, Kenny Barron, Teddy Edwards, Jimmy Heath, and dozens more.
