Wes Montgomery

This month marks the centennial of Indiana jazz guitar great Wes Montgomery, born in Indianapolis on March 6, 1923. Montgomery was one of the 20th century’s most influential and popular musicians on his instrument, and he’s the subject of a new documentary, Wes Bound, that’s airing on WTIU this month on March 5 at 1:30 p.m. and March 6 at 8 p.m. (And stick around for the one-hour tribute concert that follows, featuring guitarist Dave Stryker and an IU jazz ensemble with strings led by Brent Wallarab.)

We’ll be celebrating Montgomery’s legacy as well on our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You & Me, along with two Night Lights programs, “From Naptown to Paris: Wes Montgomery Live,” and “When Wes Montgomery Met…” The latter will air on Friday, March 24 in the midst of our spring fund drive, for which we’ll be offering two thank-you gifts that are new releases from Indiana jazz artists: Grammy-nominated violinist Sara Caswell’s The Way to You and Monika Herzig and Janiece Jaffe’s tribute to Joni Mitchell, Both Sides of Joni

Speaking of Joni Mitchell, our Friday evening vocal-jazz show Afterglow kicks off Women’s History Month on March 3 with a Mitchell salute featuring her songs performed by jazz singers such as Dianne Reeves. Other Afterglow programs for Women’s History Month cover Ella Fitzgerald’s Decca years, Billie Holiday’s 1940s records, and the career of singer Carole Sloane, who passed away in January at 85.

Finally, tune into Just You & Me on Thursday, March 30 to hear trumpeter Kyle Quass and writer and professor Joan Hawkins talk about their recent and upcoming jazz-andspoken-word collaborations.
