"Spring" Is the Thing on the Next Broadcast of All This Jazz

Tune in for the upcoming edition of All This Jazz, which begins on Saturday the 23rd at 10pm Central on Public Radio 89.5-1. As is our happy custom each and every Saturday night from ten till midnight, we'll offer modern jazz both recent and classic.

And our second-hour theme for the program will be (cue the chirping birds and budding flowers) "Spring." Thus we'll hear such classic jazz themes as "Joy Spring" and "It Might as Well Be Spring" and "Up Jumped Spring" --- as well as "Spring Ahead" by Dave Douglas and "Passion Spring" by Kenny Dorham (see LP cover herewith).

We'll also dig terrific music from the likes of John Hicks, Pepper Adams, Art Blakey, Stan Getz, and Aaron Diehl, among others. Join us.

Scott Gregory started working at Public Radio Tulsa in 2006; he started listening to public radio circa 1980, when he and NPR both marked their tenth birthdays (although only one of them commemorated the occasion with a party at Skate World). Scott became this radio station's Operations Director in the summer of 2023; he also hosts and programs All This Jazz, which airs every Saturday night on Public Radio 89.5-1 from 9pm till midnight.
