Jazz Junction
Saturdays nights beginning at 8pm we commence our weekly three hour get-together at the Jazz Junction. The program is in its nineteenth year on KIOS-FM and showcases a wide spectrum of mainstream jazz music embracing primarily the period from the 1950s through recent releases. Our intent is to present a palatable flow of music in a variety of rhythmic and instrumental settings that covers extensive musical territory during our time together. Thus one can expect to hear straight-ahead cookers, gorgeous ballads and soulful blues-based selections that are attractive and challenging in their interpretation and performance.
Jazz music has flourished for nearly a century by virtue of its “big ears” - the capacity of the form to both originate its own genres and to incorporate standard songbook melodies, popular music and classical elements into its fold as well as a variety of influences such as Afro-cuban, Latin, Brazilian, flamenco and blues rhythms. As such, jazz is a vast, continually evolving musical melting pot propelled by artists both advised by tradition and creatively expanding the form. That's a rather diverse and stimulating framework from which to assemble our journey down the jazz tracks every week.
For music from the great names and groups such as Adderley, Davis, Mingus and Silver through contemporary bearers of the perennially vibrant jazz tradition, you are cordially invited to tune in and to enjoy the fine sounds every Saturday night at the Jazz Junction.
