Salute to Bandleader Don Albert 10/21 Jazz Goes to the Movies:

A Look at Jazz Music & Musicians in Film From ‘soundies’ and ‘musical shorts’ to full-length Hollywood movies, jazz and jazz musicians have appeared in films through the decades. The Jim Cullum Jazz Band and friends perform hot jazz from movie soundtracks, with favorite picks for viewing jazz in film from writer Scott Yanow, author of Jazz on Film.

10/28 Swinging on a V-Disc: Jazz in WWII A strike by the musicians’ union in the middle of World War II reduced new recordings by jazz artists. Troops overseas felt the pinch and special releases called Victory Discs or V-Discs filled the need. It’s the story of V-Discs and the musicians who made them with The Jim Cullum Jazz Band and their guests.

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

10/1 Tommy Flanagan: Poet Of Piano 10/8 Betty Carter: Fiercely Individual

For nearly 50 years, Betty Carter (pictured) was an irrepressible and incomparable practitioner of jazz vocal tradition. She was a pure jazz singer whose strong musical style and instrument-like voice was keenly original and distinct. She was also a fiercely dedicated and demanding bandleader who helped hone the skills of gifted young musicians like Cyrus Chestnut and Jacky Terrasin. This program explores Carter's many sides and talents as a song stylist, composer, a bandleader, and teacher.

10/15 James Moody: In The Mood 10/22 Wes Montgomery: The Unmistakable Jazz Guitar 10/29 Billie Holiday: Lady Sings The Blues Billie Holiday (pictured) was the consummate jazz singer.

She could take any song and make it her own. She could re-work a melody, sing a lyric with impeccable diction, add her unique phrasing and embrace it with the raw emotional intensity of her life experience. All of the great bandleaders loved Lady Day: Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw.

Billie's personal battles are legendary—with a racist society, with men, with drugs—and it was that pain that fueled her songs. But she worked at her craft, found her own voice, and inspired countless singers and musicians. This show focuses on Billie's music and its impact on jazz.
