JAZZ AFTER DARK

20th Century Jazz: each show features instrumental and vocal jazz, usually presented in historical sequence. Occasionally contemporary, sometimes much older selections, lots from the 1940's to the 1980's. Some big band and swing; lots of cool jazz and West Coast; some fusion, a little bebop. Usually some boogie woogie, blues, bossa nova; always something by Ella.

Live Tuesday 8-9pm       Replays Monday 6-7pm, Saturday 9-10pm

West Coast cool jazz tonight --  featuring Vince Guaraldi, Art Pepper, Gerry Mulligan, Dave Brubeck, and more. 

After spending 3 weeks in Holland I thought I would share some of the music scene from Amsterdam. You will hear the number one song. Is the Bieber on the charts? Can people actually slow dance in an up tempo song? Hear two songs from Hollands best known groups known outside of Holland. You will also learn what music genre Holland is on the forefront in. Did I forget jazz - NO you will hear some Dutch Jazz.

So listen in and learn/hear/dance to the sounds in the Netherlands 

An hour of cool and smooth jazz.

Sax and blues tonight, with some sparkling vocals from Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, and the Mills Brothers in between. Bechet, Getz, Adderley, Hodges, Turrentine, Desmond, Mulligan….

Amsterdam is known for a lot of things but the town also has a thriving community radio/TV network known as SALTO (Amsterdam Broadcasting Authority).

“The Amsterdam Broadcasting Organization is an independent foundation that is intended for, and open to, all residents of Amsterdam. It is important to remember that the Amsterdam Broadcasting Organization is not a mouthpiece for the city council, or for specific pressure groups or institutions. 

The Dutch Media Board, a national authority, has granted us the license to broadcast locally and the city council's only responsibility is to check that the Amsterdam Broadcasting Organization board is representative of the diversity of the Amsterdam population.” 

Jeanne and I received the cooks tour and any and all questions where answered. Stand outs. 

Big band, cool jazz, a little bossa nova, and more. Eclectic mix across sixty years tonight.

Join us for a plush side trip down the Golden Road as Bob Bralove, former member of The Grateful Dead and sound sculptor extraordinare, discusses his upcoming live exploratory experience at the Davis Cemetery Gallery 1 to 4 pm on October 13. For the performance, Bob will be joined by Robin Sylvester and Dave Amato to round out the Bob Bralove Psychedelic Cabaret.

This will be Bob Bralove's second live interview on KDRT. He is an excellent touchstone & storyteller for any fan of The Grateful Dead through his experiences and direct contributions to the band that were captured both in the recording studio and live on stage ... and of course, Bob's own excellent improvisational sounds.Bob Bralove's website
