Again, due to a combination of forces outside of our control, Bryan and Rob are unable to make jazziness happen from the jazz bat cave. Today we re-air another great show from our archive, however, featuring guest Gibb Schreffler and a tour through Jamaican music and jazz.
Bryan and Rob are unable to convene at the secret jazz bat cave OR the KCSB studios this week so we’ll re-air our show featuring saxophonist Oliver Lake, in conversation with UCSB Professor George Lipsitz.
Today we sample a variety of recent and not-so-recent music including Vinny Golia, Ken Hyder, and more!
The Lobero Theater will feature the music of guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer Joey Baron on Saturday, Jan. 12th. Today’s show will be a retrospective of their work; together, as members of groups, and as leaders of their own groups. We’ll hear music from a wide range of projects from these two innovative and witty musicians.
Pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim, or, as he was known before converting to Islam, Dollar Brand, is perhaps the most innovative and well-known African jazz artist. While in exile from his native South Africa during the 60s, Duke Ellington heard Ibrahim’s trio and he was soon collaborating with a host of American and European jazz artists and releasing a stream of profound and swinging albums. We’ll listen to a selection of his solo work and his collaborations with musicians ranging from Elvin Jones to his recent recording featuring jazz trio and string orchestra.
