KCCK’s Featured CD for November 2016

candyThe KCCK Featured CD for November is “The Candy Men” by Harry Allen’s All-Star New York Saxophone Band. The disc harks back to Woody Herman’s Four Brothers band of the late-1940s which featured multiple tenor saxophones harmonizing together with a baritone sax. That tradition now continues with Allen arranging a program of originals and standards for he and his colleagues Eric Alexander, Grant Stewart and Gary Smulyan in a style similar to Herman’s. As Allen puts it, “Before it’s completely forgotten, I felt now was  perfect time to start a band with that instrumentation.” “The Candy Men” in on Arbors Records. Click here to purchase the CD.

Culture Crawl 206 “Fifteen Talented Performers and Some Old Guy”

Kirkwood Performing Arts presents “1940s Radio Hour” Nov. 3-6. KCCK’s Dennis Green is a guest artist in this fast-paced musical which tells the story of a beleaguered producer dealing with a drunk lead singer and the rest of the colorful cast of a WWII-era New York radio show. You’ll know the music, which includes “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “I Gotta Gal in Kalamazoo,” and more.

Taped live on the Ballantyne stage, you can hear the cast talk about the show, and hear a taste of the music.

Reserve tickets by email, ballantyne@kirkwood.edu or call 319.398.5896.

Culture Crawl 203 “Tamales, Hamburgers, Politics, Music”

Culture Crawl 203 “Tamales, Hamburgers, Politics, Music”

In the second part of a conversation Dennis Green had with John Rapson, Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Iowa, John talks about the premiere of his new work, “Hot Tamale Louie,” Nov. 1 at the UI’s new Voxman Hall.

“Hot Tamale Louie” is a “tone poem” that unites Jazz, Folk, Latin, and Persian influences to tell the story of Zafir Khan, an Afghan immigrant who settled in Sheridan, Wyoming more than 100 years ago, and started a business selling, of all things, tamales.

Iowa City-based singer songwriter Dave Moore, Daniel Gaglione, who has recently moved to Iowa City from North Africa, and UI jazz students Ryan Smith, Tara Dutcher, Dan Padley, Blake Shaw, and Justin LeDuc will form the ensemble.

7:30pm Nov. 1 in Voxman Hall. Arrive early for the best seats.
