Short List with host Bob Naujoks
Monday – Friday at 8:35 AM and Saturdays at 7 AM
Galloping Guitars: Julian Lage
Guitar prodigy Julian Lage is a bona fide wunderkind. He began public performance at age seven. The next year, he was the subject of the documentary “Jules at 8.” And he joined vibraphonist Gary Burton’s quartet when he turned 12. He’s barely 30 now, is a quiet force in jazz, producing an amazing body of work.
Jazz Corner of the World with host Craig Kessler
Mondays from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Great Bands of the 1970’s – Keith Jarrett, Part 2
Craig presents another helping of 1970s brilliance from pianist, saxophonist, and composer, Keith Jarrett. We’ll hear fine offerings from Keith’s recordings on ECM and Impulse, featuring selections from Jarrett’s “American Quartet” and the “European Quartet.” Jarrett’s music from this period helped defined jazz in the 1970s.
Wednesday Night Special
Wednesdays at 6:00 PM
2018 Homecoming Concert with Dick Oatts
Saxman Dick Oatts returned to Iowa for KCCK’s second annual Homecoming Concert. The crowd at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts heard two solid sets of new material and favorites from his long and storied career. Oatts even jammed with some hand-picked student musicians on a chart they’d composed together. It was a night of fun memories and great jazz!
Jazz Night in America with host Christian McBride
Lakecia Benjamin
Thursdays at 11:00 PM
3 New Musicians We Need To Know
Christian McBride spent some time with three New York artists on the rise – alto saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin, tenor saxophonist María Grand, and flutist/vocalist Melanie Charles. Listen to the new Jazz Night to hear them talk about their approach to the music – and as always, tunes you’ve got to hear.
Jazz Corner of the World with host Craig Kessler
Saturdays at Noon
Herbie Nichols Centennial Celebration, Part 2
Throughout 2019, Craig continues his celebration of the rich legacy of pianist and composer, Herbie Nichols, born in 1919. We’ll hear tasty selections from the rather short catalog of Herbie’s own recordings, as well as a number of interesting and magnetic interpretations of Herbie’s compositions as recorded by a host of diverse artists from over the last 56 years.
