Hello out there in Podcast-Land! Jazz many times is taken as a very serious music (rightly so). Charlie Parker even said "If you don't live it - - - it won't come out of your horn!"

On the other side of the coin, there are many light-hearted songs that are some of my personal favorites tracks in all of recorded jazz. At the end of the day, jazz cats know when to cut up and have a really good time - - - which is one of the most important aspects of this great art form. Jazz music can challenge you to think on another level, it can blow your socks off, but it can also make you smile, grin and laugh out loud. Enjoy!

Sometimes we present to you challenging music, relaxing music, interesting pairings, musician spotlights, etc. But this episode is dedicated to light-hearted fun. We present to you 25 jazz songs that were "missed opportunities" for TV show themes.
Fri, 08 Oct 2021 - 3h 01min - 164 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Listen Here (Sept. 2021)
In this episode of the podcast, we are making an appeal to 3 types of jazz listeners: those that only dig early jazz, those that only dig modern sounds, and those that only listen to classic jazz. This episode mixes & pairs up some early jazz with some of some of what's goin' on right now in jazz. Yes, it's an odd pairing, but with each major transition - it reminds me of some of the similarities as well as just how far we've come in this music. I hope you enjoy!
Thu, 30 Sep 2021 - 2h 06min - 163 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Bossa By Jazz (Sept. 2021)
Bossa Nova. Even novice jazz listeners can usually say that they've heard certain songs or certain artists. But how far can it 'really' go? What this episode plans to do is give you 25 wonderful tracks by real jazz artists playing compositions by Bossa Nova composers. Enjoy!
Tue, 21 Sep 2021 - 3h 19min - 162 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Jazz Tales (Aug 2021)
In this episode, we are trying something new out for our listeners. Unbelievable tales from the world of jazz music! Some of these stories are well documented while others are simply folklore. Some stories may be humorous, some are uplifting while others are incredibly sad and poignant. Either way, the music is great to cast a terrific soundtrack to all of these jazz tales.
Tue, 31 Aug 2021 - 4h 22min - 161 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: The Latin Jazz Side of John Coltrane (Aug 2021)
Most Coltrane fans already know he is a titan of jazz. A heavyweight who had a lyrical side ('The Gentle Side of John Coltrane'). He pushed the boundaries of jazz harmony into the stratosphere and still created many spiritual albums and avant-garde albums in his short 40 year span. While re-reading Lewis Porter's phenomenal book 'John Coltrane: His Life and Music,' he discussed how Coltrane was exposed to a great degree of Latin Jazz while living in Philadelphia and how many straight-ahead players were quite versed in various forms of Latin Jazz around Philly. He also learned how to craft a great deal of Latin Jazz elements into his own writing through his time in Dizzy Gillespie's band. Reading this lead me to the idea of just how much "Latin Jazz" was actually evident in Trane's recorded catalog. To my surprise, there was a great deal. This newfound appreciation for this side of Coltrane and his music has lead me to create this episode of the podcast. I hope you dig it!
Tue, 24 Aug 2021 - 4h 05min - 160 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Jazz & The Spoken Word (Aug. 2021)
Jazz has always had (and still has) a great deal to offer listeners, no matter your flavor or persuasion. One area that seems to get overlooked are jazz tunes that have the spoken word attached to them. In this episode, we serve up some glorious tracks that are all associated with jazz & the spoken word. You'll hear all sorts of things: recipes, nursery rhymes, dedications to historical figures, jazz musicians, horoscopes, and much more. So, tune in and dig this side to jazz (fingersnaps).
Tue, 17 Aug 2021 - 3h 34min - 159 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast - Mr. P.C: Paul Chambers Spotlight (Aug 2021)
Mr. P.C. No, it has nothing to do with computers, but it has EVERYTHING to do with the bass in jazz! In this episode, we are putting a spotlight on the bassist extraordinaire, Paul Chambers. Besides having some great albums under his own name, he was on many integral albums in the development and history of all jazz music. That's not to be taken lightly, and neither should he. Here's one for Mr. P.C.
Tue, 10 Aug 2021 - 3h 32min - 158 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast - Last Grooves of Summer (Aug 2021)
This episode compliments the previous one (Simmering Summer Ballads). As we draw closer to the end of Summer, I would like to offer up one more fresh set of care-free and lighthearted grooves for everyone to enjoy. May everyone enjoy the rest of their Summer. Carpe diem!
Mon, 02 Aug 2021 - 2h 30min - 157 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast - Simmering Summer Ballads (July 2021)
We're in the thick of the Summer season...and if you're like me, you like to hang out with friends during the Summer. Due to the oppressive heat of the day, most folks elect to hang out in the evening hours (myself included). While partaking in good "spirits" with good friends, the simmering, swarthy blanket of thick air hits my senses. This is when I like to go to jazz ballads: melodies and chords that linger like the heat on a Summer night. Stay cool & enjoy!
Wed, 28 Jul 2021 - 2h 31min - 156 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: The Chet Baker Trio (July 2021)
Chet Baker is certainly not a stranger to even casual jazz fans. Many listeners know of his groundbreaking recordings with Gerry Mulligan, Russ Freeman, Art Pepper, Stan Getz, Paul Desmond as well as many others. There's even been a movie made about Chet Baker (Born to Be Blue, starring Ethan Hawke). But one particular group that hardly ever gets mentioned is the Chet Baker Trio. Baker's Trio configurations recorded for a 10-year span, and they yield highly lyrical, beautiful, tasteful & emotional music! So, we are giving the Trio their due on this episode of the Dr. Jazz Podcast. Enjoy!
Thu, 22 Jul 2021 - 3h 14min - 155 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Music to Float By (June 2021)

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 - 2h 39min - 152 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast - Miles Davis: The Late Breakbeats (June 2021)
In this episode of the Dr. Jazz Podcast, we take a look & listen at a period in Miles' catalog that often gets overlooked: his later catalog. Many people scoff at this era in Miles Davis' career. There's no Coltrane, no Bill Evans, no Wayne, no Herbie - but what there "is" are a bunch of awesome grooves. Come listen as we dive in to expose your ears to some groove-tastic tunes.
Thu, 10 Jun 2021 - 2h 31min - 151 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast - Spotlight: Art Taylor (June 2021)
Art Taylor! In this episode, we turn a special spotlight to one of my favorite drummers in all of jazz: Art Taylor. I believe that Taylor is an unsung hero in jazz. He's not the first jazz drummer you may think of like Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Philly Joe Jones, or Buddy Rich, but you may be pleasantly surprised at all of the essential and influential recordings Art Taylor was a part of in the history of recorded jazz. Come take a listen!

Fri, 28 May 2021 - 3h 38min - 149 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast - 1923-1924: The Moment Before the Explosion (May 2021)
The years 1923-1924 were what I like to call "the moment before the explosion." It wasn't the beginning of recorded jazz music (that started back in 1917 with the Original Dixieland Jazz Band). The "explosion" wasn't Louis Armstrong joining King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, nor Armstrong's first recorded solo (although that "was" very important). The years 1923-1924 were the lead up to Louis Armstrong's Hot Five recordings. While some may yawn and roll their eyes - I believe it is fair to say that jazz, rock and popular music as we know it would be completely changed due to the revolutionary recordings of Louis Armstrong The Hot Five, then later the Hot Seven, followed by the remainder of Armstrong's recorded works. But the Hot Five were like a version of jazz music's Avengers or Justice League. It was a supergroup in all senses of the word! This podcast episode was designed in two ways: first, it is presented chronologically (or at least close). Next, it was conceived by an idea from a book I am reading by jazz author Ted Gioia. In his book 'How to Listen to Jazz', he discusses how he went 2 weeks listening to what he could find in recorded jazz previous to Louis Armstrong's Hot Five recordings in order to really let the full revolutionary sound impact him to the fullest extent of his ears. This podcast is a microcosm of that experience. We aim to give the listener the experience of sampling what was available in recorded music leading up to the moment of sonic artistry with the explosion of the recordings of the Hot Five - and Louis Armstrong was the bomb!
Thu, 20 May 2021 - 3h 03min - 148 - The Dr. Jazz Podcast: Take the Jazz Train - Trains & Jazz (May 2021)
