The Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam Comes to WFIU This Month Starting this month, WFIU will bring a series of specials based on the collaboration between legendary journalist, novelist, and screenwriter Dan Wakefield and tenor saxophonist Sophie Faught. The Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam combines Wakefield’s interviews with related music from Faught and her jazz ensemble. Wakefield and Faught’s radio show grew out of a chance meeting between them at an Indianapolis jazz club. “For several years, I worked at the independent bookstore on Mass Avenue in Indianapolis, which of course was where I heard about the great Dan Wakefield (though I don’t think he had heard about me!). I also played with my jazz trio every Wednesday night just down the street at the Chatterbox. One night he was walking by with a friend while the band and I were playing ‘My Shining Hour,’ one of Dan’s favorite songs from the WWII era. He walked in and enjoyed the music enough to request we play another one of his favorites—‘I Should Care.’ We were delighted to do so,” said Faught. Following their initial meeting, Wakefield and Faught discovered that their literary and musical tastes intersected in many places. Wakefield started hiring Faught to play for his book signings and other events, sowing the seeds of their eventual on-air partnership. “Soon, we decided it would be fun to collaborate on a radio show. Essentially, we were just looking for more excuses to get together and share music and stories!” said Faught. The first Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam special that WFIU will air centers around the history of jazz on Indiana Avenue in Indianapolis. The program includes Wakefield interviewing author Aleta Hodge about her book Indiana Avenue—Life and Musical Journey from 1915 to 2015: Ragtime, Blues, Jazz, Spiritual, Bebop, Doo Wop, Motown, Opera and Hip Hop with Faught playing musical selections from Indiana Avenue. Faught is joined by keyboardist Carl Hines, who played at many clubs on Indiana Avenue, and drummer Kenny Phelps. The show was recorded live before an audience at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis. WFIU plans to air The Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam specials once a month. Upcoming specials include a performance that was recorded live at the Blockhouse in Bloomington in August. The Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam debuts September 21 at 7pm.

Jazz Notes The WFIU jazz department proudly presents September! The month when students and crazy traffic patterns return, the heat often persists, and everything seems to kick into a higher gear. As always, you can count on our weekday afternoon program Just You And Me to provide a jazzy diversion or soundtrack with new and classic jazz, Indiana artists, live recordings, and even your jazz requests! And on Thursday, September 20, saxophonist Amanda Gardier will lead her quartet in a live performance on the show at 4 p.m. Come Friday (and Saturday evenings from 10-midnight), it’s time to party with Brother William in The Soul Kitchen, where something good is always cooking.
Amanda Gardier
On Friday evenings this month Afterglow host Mark Chilla profiles the musical partnership of Nat King Cole and arranger Nelson Riddle; the songwriting team of Alan and Marilyn Bergman; Dick Haymes, the singer who followed in the footsteps of a young Frank Sinatra; and the early years of Sinatra’s own Reprise record label. Night Lights, which follows Afterglow at 9 p.m., focuses on the turbulent year of 1968 through a jazz lens, highlights saxophonist John Coltrane’s circa-1963 recordings, looks at the birth of the Monterey Jazz Festival, and celebrates women jazz artists of the 1990s. Also be sure to tune in on Friday, September 21 at 7 p.m. for the debut of The Uncle Dan And Sophie Jam! This new monthly hour-long program features renowned Indiana author Dan Wakefield (Going All The Way, New York in the Fifties) and saxophonist Sophie Faught exploring various themes through music and conversation. This time they’re joined by writer Aleta Hodge for a look back at Indianapolis’ storied Indiana Avenue, which produced jazz legends such as Wes Montgomery, J.J. Johnson, and Freddie Hubbard.

Step 4: Make it official. Your next step on your journey is to follow through and make an appointment with your attorney after reviewing your lists and wishes.

Martin, Wynton Marsalis, Lesley Stahl, Ming-Na Wen, and many more, each of whom will share their personal stories and connections to their favorite book. The series will culminate in the first-ever national vote to choose “America’s BestLoved Book.” Voting opened with the launch of the two-hour premiere episode on May 22 and continues throughout the fall, leading up to the grand finale on October 23. Viewers are currently able to vote for their favorite titles at pbs.org/ greatamericanread, through hashtag voting via Facebook and Twitter, and through SMS texting to 97979.

Become a Part of Our Newsroom’s Reporting! WFIU/WTIU News is excited to announce Inquire Indiana, where we get our story ideas right from you. We believe that great journalism starts with great questions. Where do our tax dollars go? Why are we called Hoosiers? What’s with the fish on top of the Monroe County Courthouse? You can ask us anything, silly or serious, about our state. Here’s how it works: You submit a question about Indiana that you’d like us to explore. We’ll run regular voting rounds so you can weigh in on what you most want answered. If your question is picked, a WFIU/WTIU reporter will work with you to find the answer. What do you wonder about the Hoosier state, its culture or people that you want WFIU/WTIU News to explore? Go to indianapublicmedia.org/inquireindiana and let us know.
