Thank You for a Successful Hybrid "Silent" Drive Thanks for helping us make our Fall Fundraising Experiment a rousing Success! We made our goal with Less Talk and More Music and changed the trajectory of On-Air Pledge Drives. We appreciate each and every one of you! Thank You to our Volunteers When we tried this hybrid "Silent" Drive experiment, we didn't know if it would work. What would our long-time, dedicated volunteers — who get up early and stay late to answer calls — think? While we need our beloved volunteers a little less with this new pledge model, we appreciate them just the same. We would not have been able to have a successful drive without them, and we thank each and every one of them for giving their time to help keep us on the air!

have you heard with Patrick wolff Monday at 9 pm
10/3 Barbara Donald
One of the most commanding of the avant-garde trumpeters, Barbara Donald came to prominence in the '60s, with fiery solos and a powerful sound. She released many fine albums as a leader in the '80s; her voice and contribution is one that deserves recognition.
10/10 Lucky Thompson
From the 40's through the '60s tenor saxophonist Thompson shaped a highly personal approach to bebop, developed a strong voice as a composer, and explored a new style of playing on the soprano sax. In the '70's he quite playing all together, but his music is as creative and beautiful now as it ever was.
10/17 Andrew Cyrille
Cyrille has been a leading percussionist in the free idiom since the '60s. His playing shows a level of structure, control, and dynamics that are rare among free players, and his technical skill is hard to match. His versatility and dedication have kept him on the front lines of jazz progress for half a century.
10/24 Julian Lage
One of the true prodigies in jazz, guitarist Lage has been performing and recording since young age, but over the last few years, his voice as a composer has deepened and matured to the point that he is appreciated as one of the greats of modern improvised music.
10/31 Frank Wright
It's Halloween! Are you ready to summon some spirits and maybe get a little spooked? Wright, a tenor saxophonist in the avant garde tradition thrived in the European expatriate scene in the '70s and '80s, and his recordings still set the bar for intensity in this idiom.
JAZZ Night in America with christian mcbride Tuesday at 9 pm
10/4 Moran Plays Monk
Jason Moran defies the constraints of history itself in this celebration of “the first pianist who made me want to be a pianist.” Using archival footage, interviews, and live music, Moran re-imagines the classic Thelonious Monk At Town Hall concert from 1959.
10/11 Spaces (New Work from Wynton Marsalis)
Wynton Marsalis presents his new work for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra entitled Spaces. Each movement corresponds to a different animal in the animal kingdom. We explore Wynton’s process of writing, drawing on different mythology and origin stories, and the intertwined history of jazz and dance.
10/18 Oliver Jones Live from The Montreal Jazz Festival
Oliver Jones is the most famous living jazz musician you’ve probably never heard of. This celebrated Canadian pianist was the protege of Oscar Peterson and he’s done much to spread the gospel of Canadian jazz in his 81 years.
10/25 Herbie Hancock’s New Band
Herbie Hancock always seems to be on some kind of voyage. Whether that’s sitting in a eleven-keyboard cockpit or forming new bands of musicians that push his possibilities and the boundaries of jazz. Jazz Night in America host Christian McBride sits down with Herbie to discuss his journey in technology through the years.

piano jazz WITH marian mcpartland Wednesday at 9 pm
10/5 Chucho Valdés
At one time, pianist Jesus “Chucho” Valdés was banned from performing in the U.S. Today, he enjoys performing and teaching here as well as in his native Cuba. On this Piano Jazz from 2000, Valdés and host McPartland share a love of pianist Bill Evans, and in tribute they create their version of Waltz for Debby. Valdés treats listeners to his composition “Claudia.”
10/12 Jackie and Roy Kral
Roy Kral (1921 – 2002) was working in Chicago with the George Davis Quartet when he met Jackie Cain (1928 – 2014). They formed a duo, Jackie and Roy, and the rest is history. On this 1992 Piano Jazz the husband and wife team play Alec Wilder’s While We Were Young and join McPartland for a trio of Joy Spring.
10/19 Esperanza Spalding
Bassist/vocalist Spalding is one of the most talked about artists in jazz today. On this Piano Jazz from 2008, Spalding brings her neo-soul style to a set of standards with the aid of pianist Leo Genovese. McPartland’s piano provides a perfect accompaniment to Spalding’s bass and vocals in Duke Ellington’s Prelude to a Kiss.
10/26 Mario Grigorov
Born in Sophia, Bulgaria, Mario Grigorov studied classical music until he fell in love with jazz. As a child his parents performed in the Sophia Symphony Orchestra before moving to Iran, where his father played in the Shah’s symphony orchestra. Grigorov continued to study music intensively as his family moved to Austria and Australia before he settled in the United States in 1992. On this 1995 Piano Jazz, Grigorov’s stunning originality is evident on his own Lost City. He and McPartland duet on Jobim’s Wave.
