Three Chicago Tenor Men

[Lazaro Vega]

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).

This sounds fantastic, Lazaro! I'll tune in tonight and try for tomorrow as well. BTW, the Night Lights "Chicago Calling" sequel is in the can, though I'm going to go back and revise the ending to add an Eddie Higgins track w/Paul Serrano...will be airing in early May.

Five Spot w/Monk!

[Lazaro Vega]

That "Chicago Calling" is a great show.

So how many hours of programming are you responsible for a week?

[Lazaro Vega]

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.

[Chuck Nessa]

Nice. I forgot about that one.

[John L]

Maybe Eddie Harris will be the fourth?

[John L]

And Gene Ammons the fifth? :)

[Lazaro Vega]

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

[Lazaro Vega]

Ammons was last Friday.

Tonight, Bud Freeman.

and of course, there's Walt Parazaider -
