The Jazz Show Episode September 11, 2017

"An Introduction To Jazz" Narrated with musical examples by Julian "Cannonball" Adderley.

9:03pm - 12:40am

This Jazz Feature recording is a bit of a Jazz Show tradition in that we welcome September with a "back to school" feature. This week we present a wonderful recording done in 1960 narrated by the great alto saxophonist/bandleader Julian "Cannonball" Adderley in which he traces a historical overview of Jazz music from it's beginnings until 1960, when this was recorded. Despite the fact that it ends in 1960, it is still a very valuable learning tool as the basis of this music is still being played today. Jazz has continually evolved but certain traditions remain and are still a part of today's Jazz. For those that have heard this recording, there are still things to discover here and for those that have never heard this recording, I'm sure you will learn something aabout this music and be entertained as well. Tonight: "A History of Jazz".
