Count Basie: The Man and His Music (Part 1)
This first installment traces Basie's (pictured) early years; his childhood, pilgrimage to Harlem, and early life as a traveling musician. Part one ends with Basie's arrival in Kansas City, and his encounter with the Benny Moten Band.
7/11 Count Basie: The Man and His Music (Part 2)
The story covers a period that marks the both the pinnacle of success for Basie's Kansas City style and also some setbacks, including the death of tenor man Herschel Evans, the recording ban of the early 1940s, and the advent of World War II.
7/18 Count Basie: The Man and his Music (part 3) Notwithstanding their earlier success, Basie's band was not immune to the post-WW II collapse of the swing bands. The '50s prove to be grand for Basie as singer Joe Williams comes aboard and they hit the charts with "Every Day I Have the Blues." The story concludes with the chronicle of another reunion with Norman Granz - one that leads to the famous "piano battle" with Oscar Peterson.

WRAPPIN’ IT UP: TAKE 101 By Alisa Clancy, Operations Director and Weekday Host of A Morning Cup of Jazz
There’s an anatomy to every pledge drive and the 101 refers not to our local highway but to the number of pledges I’ve driven through. Let’s see, this Spring Drive was 11+ hours a day over 18 days, that’s about 198 hours, and it always comes down to the nail-biting, teeth-gnashing, carnival barking, three or four hours at the end—and you know, I love that ride! Note: Unlike my husband, I adore thrill rides.
PICTURED: Alisa Clancy (Far right), Chris Phillips (Far Left)
There’s the early optimism at 6am, “Hmmmm, we could make it by 10am,” I say to Chris Phillips. “Yeah, when pigs fly,” is his nudgy smiling response. If Chris Phillips wasn’t employed here at KCSM he’d have them rolling in the aisles at The Punch Line…seriously, he’s that funny! Whoa, then it hits, the flip-flop at 7:15, “What, no phone calls that break!” Cue the band in my head… Let me just break into the tune a little bit and remind them of the challenge…curb the music, we have work to do! Ah, hell, I didn’t mean to play that tune, it’s too slow! This is a morning show, damnit! “Should we do the sing-along, Chris?” I ask. “Yeah," he responds, "Tell ‘um we’ll even get our general manager, Marilyn, singing in here for a $1000 pledge.” (Strangely, Marilyn doesn’t seem keen on this strategy). “Don’t worry,” Chris says, “We’ll get ‘um on the backside of the hour” (that’s radio speak for pledges that usually come in during the last 15 minutes of each hour). And, there you are, right on time, 7:50am…call after call after call. “Too many to thank this break, Chris, let’s play music over the top of the hour. More up-tempo blues, party tunes. No, we played too much of that Ray Charles yesterday.” After nearly three weeks of pledge (was it really?) there are still rabbits to come out of those hats aren’t there? In the words of Anita O’Day, Thanks for the Boogie Ride!
