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." Since 1959, host Richard Hadlock has been improvising on historical themes and bringing forth worthy performers—from Armstrong to Zorn. Each Sunday, we may find Annals in Europe, Asia, Latin America or Back of Town anywhere.

JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Monday at 9 pm 6/6

Charles Mingus Part 1

6/13 Charles Mingus Part 2 6/20 Bessie Smith No blues singer can escape the influence of Bessie Smith (pictured), "The Empress of the Blues". For over 100 years, this legendary, singer has been and continues to be a major influence on singers and instrumentalists of today. She was larger than life, inexhaustibly creative, and undeniably distinctive. Her legacies of songs speak to everybody; she gave the music its raw, regal poignancy— and marketability.

6/27 Gil Evans

His most famous work was with Miles Davis in the mid'50s with the celebrated albums Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain. But there's much more to Gil Evans' (pictured) (1912-1988) story. In a career spanning more than fifty years—from the early '30s until his death— the legendary "arranger's arranger" created his music using a diverse palette of musical colors, both within jazz and beyond. Evans' music reflects an insatiable appetite for new sounds.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER WITH WENDELL PIERCE Tuesday at 9 pm 6/7

Cyrus Chestnut, Russell Malone and Christian McBride Pianist Cyrus Chestnut, guitarist Russell Malone (pictured) and bassist Christian McBride form an all-star rhythm roll call. Each of these keepers of the jazz flame propels his own group on the stage at Dizzy's.

6/14 The Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra 6/21 American Icons: Dave Brubeck and Ramsey Lewis A smooth pairing as renowned pianists Dave Brubeck (pictured, left) and Ramsey Lewis (pictured, right) take the stage for two rousing sets. On the verge of his tenth decade, Brubeck shows he still is the master of the 88s on Take Five, On the Sunny Side of the Street, and Over the Rainbow. Lewis' gospel and funk tinged sound will lift you out of your seat with The In Crowd, Wade in the Water and more.

6/28 Rags, Strides and Stomps

PIANO JAZZ WITH MARIAN MCPARTLAND Wednesday at 9 pm

6/1 6/8

Grace Kelly Eliane Elias Brazilian-born pianist and singer Eliane Elias (pictured) is one of the most original and popular artists on the jazz scene today. Widely recognized as one of the preeminent interpreters of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Elias has lately begun exploring the works of Bill Evans. She plays and sings a previously unreleased Evans tune, Here Is Something for You, for which she has written a lyric, and McPartland gives her own Evans tribute on B Minor Waltz.

6/15 Marian McPartland Selects - Hazel Scott Singer and pianist Hazel Scott (pictured) was one of the first African-American women to break the color barrier with roles in major Hollywood films, and the first to host her own television show in 1950. On this 1980 Piano Jazz, Scott performs Memories of You and duets with McPartland on Do Nothing Til You Hear From Me.
