Journeys into Jazz

May 5, 2021 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Music

With Chuck France

Alternating hosts Elton and Chuck carry on in the tradition of former host Gary Alderman, who was a jazz historian and a great source of discographical and discological information. Gary professionally sold rare and out-of-print jazz vinyl, rare jazz publications (old Down Beat magazines, etc.) and other collectibles and memorabilia.

Journeys into Jazz

On this date in 1959, Charles Mingus recorded Mingus Ah Um and John Coltrane recorded Giant Steps.

Host Chuck France plays songs from those albums from 4-5p today.
