THE ANNALS OF JAZZ WITH RICHARD HADLOCK Sundays at 7 pm

The sound of surprise describes both jazz itself and the enduring premise of "The Annals of Jazz."

8/19 Electric Miles

Jazz Night in America grapples with one of the most passionately debated artists in American music -Miles Davis- when he turned the jazz world upside down. We explore Electric Miles -from Bitches Brew to Tutu- how his rock-influenced sound galvanized massive audiences, annoyed the critics, and created a controversy that outlived his lifetime. On the 50th Anniversary of Miles going electric, a period once shunned by the jazz community, is now celebrated onstage at Jazz at Lincoln Center with one of Miles�s last collaborators, the electric bassist Marcus Miller.

8/26 Chick Corea Back Home in Boston
