Johnny Smith
Johnny Smith was a cool-toned guitarist with phenomenal technique and a completely original language of eighth note based lines. His collaboration with Stan Getz on “Moonlight In Vermont” scored a hit in 1952, and he has remained a favorite among guitar players.
Tete Monteliu
Catalan pianist Monteliu has played with all of the major horn players and his solos and trio work show a mastery of bebop mixed with humor and inventive phrasing.
5/16 Ellery Eskelin
Tenor saxophonist Eskelin has a broad and warm sound and an approach to the horn that keeps his projects fresh and forward-leaning. An individual voice on the saxophone is a rare and special thing in this day and age!
5/23 Alice Coltrane
Before Alice Coltrane (formerly Mcleod) rose to prominence playing in her husband John’s late-period ensembles, she established herself as a unique voice on the piano and harp. After his passing, she continued to record and perform a distinctive take on jazz of the 60’s.
5/30 Art Lande
A distinctive pianist, drummer, and guru of creative music, Art Lande has been mentoring and educating young musicians, which has had a huge effect on the landscape of jazz. His music is deeply melodic, intelligent, and full of left turns.

5/10 50 Years Of Monday Nights At The Vanguard: The Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra
Trumpeter/composer/arranger Thad Jones and drummer Mel Lewis found themselves with a book of big band music—and no band to perform it. So they handpicked some of NY’s top talent across age/color lines, becoming the most influential big band of the last 50 years.
5/17 Catherine Russell at Jazz at Lincoln Center
Catherine Russell remembers her late mother, singer Carline Ray, in a performance honoring the vocal jazz trio tradition and shares stories of her mother’s journey in jazz in the 1940s.

Leroy is known in the Big Easy as the “Keeper of the Flame” for keeping New Orleans traditions foremost in his playing and his personal character. He brings his septet to the historic Dew Drop Jazz Hall in Mandeville, LA for a special Big Easy Jazz Night in America.
5/31 Jazz Harpists
This episode of Jazz Night in America splits the hour with two concerts with two takes on jazz-harp: Brandee Younger, the harpist exploring the textual modal defined by Dorothy Ashby and John Coltrane, and the Columbian-born folkloric virtuoso Edmar Castañeda.
