Formidable Flutes: Paul Horn
While much of Paul Horn’s later work defies classification, his early roots are firmly in the jazz tradition. He played with Chico Hamilton’s quintet in the mid-50’s and quickly established himself as a sought-after West Coast session player. He recorded with the Duke Ellington Orchestra’s “Suite Thursday” project and collaborated with Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, and many others. He even scored the 1959 animated TV series “Clutch Cargo.” The latter part of his career focused on global music and atmospheric tones – often recording inside sacred places around the world.

Commons Collective at the Opus Concert Cafe
The Commons Collective came together in the fall of 2011 as a UNI school ensemble. They were initially coached by renowned jazz educator and musician Dr. Bob Washut, but soon struck out on their own. Each member of the band contributes to their eclectic repertoire of original work, drawing upon blues, rock, classical, and pop – yet firmly roots itself in improvisation and the jazz tradition. The Cedar Rapids Gazette dubbed them, “one of the most popular young, professional groups in Eastern Iowa.”
Jazz Night in America with host Christian McBride
Thursday at 11:00 PM
The Eminence of J.J. Johnson
Jazz Night in America presents the music of trombonist J. J. Johnson curated by Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra trombonist Vincent Gardner. Gardner invites his section parter Elliot Mason to tackle material from the “Jay and Kai”project, which featured trombonist Kai Winding. Also, Jazz Night in America pulls back the curtain on Johnson, the composer, courtesy of archival interview tape provided by biographer Joshua Berrett, and we learn about Johnson, the man, from Carolyn Johnson who was Johnson’s wife from 1992 until his death in 2001.

Blue Note Records in 1968, Part Two
Craig travels back 50 years to look in on the recording activities at Blue Note Records in 1968. In this second of two presentations, we’ll hear fabulous examples of recordings that were made during the last half of the year … July thru December of 1968 … gems from Bobby Hutcherson, Andrew Hill, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Lee Morgan, among many others! This is another great show displaying how the “times, they were a-changing!”
