We lost a jazz loving friend April 28. William D. “Bill” Ford of Iowa City wrote a number of poems on jazz, some contained in his self-published Descending With Miles. Ford’s jazz poetry was featured on KCCK’s “Short List” program in the Spring of 2015. Bill came to the studio to record some poems with producer Bob Naujoks. He was a thoughtful poet and a soft-spoken man with a quiet sense of humor. Here are Bill Ford jazz poetry segments from The Short List series.
