 | 09:00 | | John Lewis - Paris, France
American jazz pianist and composer John Lewis is best-known for founding the Modern Jazz Quartet in 1952, an ensemble that played cool jazz fused with elements of classical music and blues. In the first part of this broadcast, Lewis is seen in rehearsal with a group of musicians, consisting of violinist Svend Asmussen, bassist Alby Cullaz, drummer Eric Dervieu, guitarist Christian Escoudé, double bassist Michel Gaudry, and drummer Daniel Humair. This is followed by a private master class from Lewis to two young jazz pianists, Franck Amsallem and Christophe Soulier. The broadcast ends with a performance of “Django” by Lewis himself, a composition he wrote in memory of Django Reinhardt, the guitar virtuoso who co-founded gypsy jazz. This program was recorded at the former Citroën factory at Quai de Javel in Paris, from August 20 to 22, 1979. | |
| 09:56 | | Les McCann: Live in New Orleans
Self-taught musician Les McCann became the international jazz superstar he is today after the release of his album “Swiss Movement” which he recorded in 1968 with the late Eddie Harris. Yet there is much more to this musician than that one record. McCann moves comfortably from one jazz style to the next, demonstrating impressive chops in all areas, from bop to fusion, and from vocals to the keys of the electric piano, clavinet, or synthesizer. His mix of church and swing music captures the spirit of the time perfectly, even when an illness prevented him from playing with more than one finger at a time in the early 1990s. In today’s broadcast, McCann takes gospel back to New Orleans, where he played this set in 1983. McCann’s vocals shine in the soulful performances of several of his hits, including “Just Like Magic”, backed by his wonderful “Magic Band” of saxophonist Bobby Bryant Jr., bassist Curtis Robertson Jr., and drummer Tony St. James. | |
