Lazaro Vega Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) Last year we set up a separate stream for Jazz From Blue Lake that allows those of you who can't stay up until 3 a.m. to hear the program the next day. Last night we celebrated Henry Threadgill's 82nd birthday by playing his recordings in the first 20 minutes of each hour and, man, was that enlightening. "I can't think of anything more mainstream than what I do," he told the crowd in 2014, which was quoted again on Jazz Night In America which we aired on Sunday. I couldn't agree more! Tonight we're featuring Kahil El'Zabar's Ethnic Heritage Ensemble. They're playing tomorrow in Greenwich Village at NuBlu and then on the 21st at The MET Museum (800 plus, sold out). And tonight's program repeats throughout the day tomorrow. Etc. In any case, please join us on-line for Jazz From Blue Lake, which airs Monday through Friday from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. and Saturday mornings from 7-10 a.m. All of that programming repeats on the jazz stream. Ah, to get to the jazz stream. Map. https://www.bluelakeradio.org You'll see the blue bar showing what's streaming live. If you're on a computer there should be a tile on the right of that blue bar that says "All Streams." Click that and then click the Jazz From Blue Lake stream. If you're on a smart phone there will be a star like icon on the right side of that blue bar. Click that and then click the Jazz From Blue Lake stream. If you use the Blue Lake Public Radio mobile app there's a tile that says "All Streams." Click that and then the Jazz From Blue Lake stream. And for our playlist there's this page: https://www.bluelakeradio.org/show/jazz-from-blue-lake Thanks!

Dan Gould Posted February 26 Posted February 26 32 minutes ago, Lazaro Vega said: And for an archive of past performances and interviews from our studios please see: https://bluelake.ncats.net/ondemand.pl Thanks for this. I believe the one at the very bottom ... Randy Marsh's Pop, Arno Marsh, is with Organissimo. A great set that I snagged in the past. actually I see the Organissimo with Arno Marsh higher up .. so this is more Arno? That should be great. Quote
Lazaro Vega Posted February 26 Author Posted February 26 You bet, appreciate you checking it out. The Arno Marsh at the very bottom is from 1983, shortly after I started here at Blue Lake. It's a live hit from a club in Grand Rapids called "Pier 28" and was one hour out of entire weekend that Arno had at the club, including a 3 or 4 tenor melee to end it all. Randy plays drums, the wonderful soul brother Eddie Russ is on piano and the bassist is Jeff Beavan, a Grand Rapids guy. Check out Arno playing like 5 choruses on "Body and Soul." Also down there is the Blue Lake Faculty at The White Sands which included trumpeter Louis Smith. His feature on "Oleo" opens the second hour of that, I believe. The Louis Bellson Explosion and Blue Lake Monster with Marcus Belgrave are also highlight the archive. Quote

Lazaro Vega Posted May 27 Author Posted May 27 Jason Stein's been playing bass clarinet for 30 years. Bassist Damon Smith learned from Julius Hemphill in his native St. Louis and currently collaborates with the great Roscoe Mitchell. And Adam Shead put this trio together in 2021 and booked their current two week, 14 concert tour that lands in New York City, Philly and Buffalo over the next few days. This was their second appearance in our studios.
