Kicking off this afternoon's edition of The A-Trane Radio Program with an overdue celebration of the centenary of the great James Moody with a sweep across his varied career of over 60 years. He takes in the theme with one of his last Grammy-winning recordings and we'll hear him with Renee Rosnes doing Giant Steps (!), Dizzy Gillespie, Eddie Jefferson, Roberta Gambarini, Cheryl Bentyne, and a stellar array of guests from the recent Origin Records release of a concert celebrating his 80th birthday!

Previews include at Frankie's Jazz Club this weekend, Kerry Politzer Music from her upcoming release and George Colligan from his recent trio release featuring Linda May Han Oh & Jack DeJohnette. As well as pianist Misha Piatigorsky in this Thursday with the inestimable Rudy Royston!
Another preview for Ches Smith's Clone Row (coming to the Revue Theatre this fall at the behest of Coastal Jazz) kicks off a guitar set with recent recordings from Mary Halvorson & Nels Cline. Birthday nods for James Baldwin from a new release from Jaleel Shaw & last year's tribute from Meshell Ndegeocello.

And a last preview for Norbert Rodenkirchen appearing tomorrow as part of Early Music Vancouver's summer festival!
