JAZZ PROFILES WITH NANCY WILSON Monday at 9 pm 9/5

Trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison Swinging and singing: both describe the unmistakable sound of Harry "Sweets" Edison (pictured), one of the most important stylists in the history of jazz trumpet. Sweets plays with a simplicity born of sophisticated artistry. It propelled him to the Count Basie Band, which he joined in 1937, thereafter becoming one of its most frequently featured soloists. This program, produced just before his death, celebrates Edison's spare style that blends subtle humor, impeccable timing, and the sweetly muted tone that gave him his nickname.

9/12 Saxophonist Jackie McLean 9/19 Producer Norman Granz 9/26 Vocalist Betty Carter 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.

The Jazz Center TAKE THE COLTRANE!

By Claire Greene, KCSM Fund Drive Producer

The KCSM Fall Fund Drive begins on September 6th and we’re working like crazy to make it as fun, informative and happening as possible. To that end we’ve lined up some great programming. The highlights include a tribute to John Coltrane in honor of the 85th anniversary of his birth, and to Joni Mitchell on the 40th anniversary of the release of her historic album “Blue”.

The celebration of the life, artistry and music of John Coltrane takes place the weekend of September 10th. Born September 23rd in 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina, John Coltrane was one of the leading tenor saxophonists of all time. His sound, his compositions, and his commitment to his art are unparalleled. Although he died in New York on July 17, 1967, Coltrane continues to be a major influence in the world of jazz.

To bring the Coltrane story to life, KCSM will feature the award-winning radio documentary, “How Long Has Trane Been Gone?”, by independent producer Steve Rowland. Rowland is also the producer of the amazing “Miles Davis Radio Project” – a Jazz 91 listener favorite. In addition to airing the documentary, we’ll be offering an array of Coltrane CD’s and even a cool black T-shirt with Coltrane’s image as thank you gifts for listeners who contribute during the Fund Drive.

The following weekend, on Sunday, September 18th, we’ll be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” album. Mitchell, one of the most influential songwriters of all time, has had an enormous impact on popular music. Her background as a painter and a lover of jazz infuses her music. Her musical style, whether she’s on the guitar or at the piano, is a unique blend of harmonic landscapes. She worked closely with jazz musicians including Pat Metheny, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, and on a 1979 record released after his death, Charles Mingus.

If that weren’t enough, we’ll be giving shouts out to B.B. King, Chick Corea, Tony Bennett, and more. It’s all a part of the fun in fun(d) drive. Don’t forget to tell your friends to get on board the Jazz 91 ColTrane!
