Short List with host Bob Naujoks
Monday – Friday at 8:35 AM and Saturdays at 7 AM
Licorice Stick 2: Irving Fazola
Irving Fazola was a master of the instrument, but not necessarily his life. He loved jazz, drinking, food and women … but not always in that order. His biggest claim to fame might be his years with the great swing band of Bob Crosby in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He was DownBeat’s Poll Winner in 1940 and 1941. Faz was a professional musician at fifteen, and played in Glenn Miller’s early band.

The Wednesday Night Special
Wednesdays at 6:00 PM
Rene Marie at the Iowa City Jazz Festival
Our month-long listen to the impressive roster from 2018’s Iowa City Jazz Festival continues with one of our favorites. Singer Rene Marie didn’t begin her career until her 40’s. She’s certainly made up for lost time, with some incredible recordings and an ever-growing fan base. Her mainstage set in 2018 was a show-stopper.
Jazz Night In America with host Christian McBride
Thursdays at 11:00 PM
Allison Miller’s Melodic Drumming
Drummer Allison Miller does more than keep time. She and host Christian McBride discuss her jazz roots and the style she’s dubbed “melodic drumming” – a unique meld of folk and funk. She’s also talk about how female empowerment is thriving in the jazz community.
