Black Jazz Record Label, Part 2
Host Craig Kessler presents more terrific material from Black Jazz Records, the Oakland-based African-American owned and operated jazz label from the early and mid-70s. We’ll hear underrated and obscure – yet important and influential – material from Doug and Jean Carn, Henry Franklin, Kellee Patterson, Chester Thompson, Walter Bishop Jr., and others.

Jazz Night in America
Thursdays at 11:00 PM
Gregory Porter’s Songs & Stories
Flowing out of the gospel church, Gregory Porter’s voice is one of dignity, of reassurance, and of his own experience. Porter opens up about his life journey with host Christian McBride. We’ll hear about his transition from sports to theater to music, and about the meaning behind some of his soul-baring songs.
Jazz Corner of the World
Saturdays at 12:00 Noon
Tribute to Pat Martino
Host Craig Kessler pays tribute to the life and legacy of jazz giant Pat Martino by spinning some remarkable offerings from a variety of important jazz records. We’ll revisit his earliest recordings from the early 1960s, all the way up to just a few years back. Martino’s reputation as one of the all-time greats of jazz guitar makes this show a must-hear! His style and techniques are nothing short of amazing!
