The show will round out with a couple of tracks from vintage LPs I discovered yesterday in my basement featuring local jazz piano luminary Hal Galper playing with Chet Baker and Lee Konitz. Hal is opening the Maple City Festival on Friday. Nov. 15. I'm planning to air an interview with him in early November.

This week's "Living Jazz" show on WJFF will be heavy on piano jazz. Here are some of the reasons why:

Local jazz pianist/composer Kazzrie Jaxen has a birthday coming up...

Thelonious Monk would have been 102 today (he was born Oct. 10, 1917)...

The great jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal has a new album out...

Pianist/composers Kris Davis and Maria Chiara Argiro also have brand new albums out. They're among the most talented musicians on the scene. Both are resolutely uncommercial and deserve to be better known...

He wasn't a pianist, but the great rock and roll drummer Ginger Baker just died. A little known fact: Baker put out some excellent jazz recordings. We'll hear a track from one of them.

"Living Jazz" airs Fridays from noon to 2 pm on WJFF, 90.5 F.M. and streams online at wjffradio.org.

Please tune in.

Thanks.

Thane Peterson
