Blue Lake Public Radio will feature this suite on Sunday evening from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. (when Night Lights starts) edt. http://www.bluelake.org/radio

Are you going to catch them again at The Hideout? http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/Event?oid=1612190

Celebrating the music of Herbie Hancock tonight at 10 p.m. and then the Gebhard Ullmann Clarinet Trio "Live From Blue Lake" at 11 p.m. Hope you can join us, http://www.bluelake.org/radio

Very good. They were in Seattle, flew to Chicago, drove to Michigan and recorded at Blue Lake. Today they're in Ann Arbor; Monday night at 11 p.m. edt "Live From Blue Lake;" Tuesday at noon at the Chicago Cultural Center and Wednesday night at The Hideout in Chicago. Their ability to improvise with written material amazes me. That is, there are scored sections which are played in an improvised cannon form; scored parts which can be accessed randomly; and points within the performance where the written parts are played specifically. Gebhard has a very distinct and recognizable way of phrasing the blues in his compositions, and one of them, in quarter tones, that they'll play on Monday takes his work in this area to another level.

Tonight we're recording the Gebhard Ullmann clarinet trio from Berlin in our studios for broadcast on Monday evening at 11 p.m. http://www.leorecords.com/?m=select&id=CD_LR_415 http://www.bucknell.edu/x60902.xml

"Darn That Dream" is worth the price of admission alone.....

When I heard Charlie Rouse play "Monk's Mood" with Kenny Barron and Buster Williams at the Village Vanguard it was like hearing the tune for the first time: the overtone series on that melody with that voicing created an unimaginably rich sound. Tonight Blue Lake celebrates the beauty of Charlie Rouse's tenor saxophone sound on the Jazz Retrospective, with many new recordings, too, from 10 p.m. via www.bluelake.org/radio

Thanks Niko, This is a variation of the band I heard in Grand Haven, with the addition of saxophonist Eric Schneider and a rhythm guitarist, John Defauw, which made it swing even more: Johns27. The Hubbard Street Swingers Eddie Johnson (ts); Johnny Board (ts); John Young (p); Charles "Truck" Parham (b); Phil Gratteau (d); Don De Michael (vib); Jo Belle (voc). Andy's, Chicago, April 2, 1981

How old was he? That Ellington Dynasty Band with Greg Sergo was the last chance I had to hear him live, but will never forget the tenor summit in Grand Haven during Winter Fest that one year back in the 1980's!

Ammons is coming up this month on Jazz From Blue Lake.

Ours came in today. Includes video segments....

Tonight on the Von Freeman program we'll slip in some of the "Live From Blue Lake Concert" by the Von Freeman/Eddie Calhoun Quartet -- 8 - 6 - 1993 -- featuring John Young and Phil Thomas.

That "Chicago Calling" is a great show. So how many hours of programming are you responsible for a week?

Last night we began a triology of Chicago tenor saxophonists on the "Jazz Retrospective" with the 81 year old Fred Anderson. Tonight we'll delve into the heavy bebop of the late great Johnny Griffin, including a focus on his music with Thelonious Monk, and Friday it's living legend Von Freeman. 10 p.m. - 3 a.m. over Blue Lake Public Radio, http://www.bluelake.org/radio (mac users please click the "shout cast" link which will open a stream in I Tunes).

Tonight on Jazz From Blue Lake we'll celebrate and include our 2007 interview program, "Getting Schooled: An Interview with Ornette Coleman," as well as a 1992 interview with Coleman and film composer Howard Shore about their music to David Cronenberg's film "Naked Lunch." The fun starts tonight at 10 p.m. and is streaming live from http://bluelake.ncats.net/

Do you know who he spoke to for permission for that?

Hazen Schumacher brought out a great book last year called “A Golden Age of Jazz Revisited, 1939 – 1942” via NPP Books, P.O. Box 1491 Ann Arbor, MI 48106, USA. In it was a card that says if you go to the web site http://www.bixeibenhamburg.com and click on “skip introduction,” you’ll see 24 icons, click on any one of those icons and an entire program of “Jazz Revisited” will play.
