Soul Jazz in the 1960s
Soul jazz frequently revolved around the Hammond B-3 organ, guitars, and soulful rhythms. Host Craig Kessler invites you in on the fun as he gives us a listen to this popular sub-genre of jazz that thrived in the 60s. We’ll hear from cats like Lou Donaldson, Baby Face Willette, Kenny Burrell, and many others.
The Wednesday Night Special

Remembering Bruce Chadima
We honor the legacy of an Iowa legend – drummer Bruce “The Governor of Groove” Chadima. The Gov was a fixture of Iowa Funk and R&B, with bands Flock of Funk, Midnight Passage, and Mean Street & the Hell Horns. Chadima performed at Jazz Under the Stars 12 times, and will be greatly missed. We celebrate The Gov’s career with his Jazz Under the Stars performances with Midnight Passage and Mean Street & the Hell Horns.
