Bird 100: Charlie Parker Centennial Celebration

 

LISTEN

August 29,2020 is the 100th birthday of Charlie Parker, considered one of the most influential jazz artists of the 20th century and the father of improvisational bebop.  Four of his recordings have been inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame , the U.S. Postal Service has issued a commemorative stamp in his honor, and the Parker composition "Koko" was included in the National Recorded Registry. Join WXYC and Jazz incognito as we celebrate Parker’s tunes and discuss the slew of new releases, vinyl reissues, the first-ever excursions into graphic novels, and a variety of virtual events coinciding with the Bird 100 festival.

I Called Him Morgan: The music and life of Lee Morgan

Lee Morgan burst into the jazz scene as a teenager playing trumpet on coltrane’s 1957 masterpiece Blue Train. After learning at the feet of Art Blakey and the jazz messengers Lee Morgan became one of the key hard bop musicians of the 1960s producing more than 30 records some of which are now considered jazz classics.

COVID-19 Pandemic Special: In memoriam of McCoy Tyner

DOWNLOAD

My tribute to McCoy Tyner who left this world and went home March 6, 2020.

From Ben Ratliff (New York Times)

McCoy Tyner, a cornerstone of John Coltrane’s groundbreaking 1960s quartet and one of the most influential pianists in jazz history, died on Friday at his home in northern New Jersey. He was 81.
His nephew Colby Tyner confirmed the death. No other details were provided.


Along with Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and only a few others, Mr. Tyner was one of the main expressways of modern jazz piano. Nearly every jazz pianist since Mr. Tyner’s years with Coltrane has had to learn his lessons, whether they ultimately discarded them or not.

Happy Birthday Bob Marley!

Bob would have turned 75 years old on February 6 and we honor this occasion by digging into the genius that was his music. We will journey from his early ska days to his monumental meeting with Lee “scratch” Perry that produced some of his finest work, and then continue through his roots reggae sounds of the 70’s. We’ll end the night choosing from some of my favorites from the hundreds of covers of his music by other musicians.
