Judy Carmichael's Jazz Inspired - Public Radio Show

08/11/2025

This week on Judy Carmichael's Jazz Inspired - Public Radio Show guitarist, Larry Koonse, recorded onstage at The Next Picture Show in Dixon, IL, outside of Chicago. We talk, we play, and that great audience we had chime in. Fun episode.

We're revisiting some of my favorite shows as part of Jazz Inspired's 25th year on air celebration and this one was certainly a favorite.

Here's a bit of "Honeysuckle Rose" in San Diego at the sadly long gone Martinis Club. Loved that room.

This week on “Jazz Inspired” JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH producer (and Oscar, Tony, Emmy and Grammy-winner) FRANK MARSHALL. But it’s not just about dinosaurs with Frank, he’s also a lifelong jazz lover. We talk about his growing up with jazz and recently discovering an unreleased recording his father, Jack Marshall, produced, of Jack Sheldon and Chet Baker. I commented on how wonderfully surprising their pairing is on this recording.

It's summer so what better time to check out my archived show with the late Roy "You're gonna need a bigger boat" Scheider. I had so much fun with this talented, fascinating actor whom I first met at a party and five years later chatted with at our mutual P.T.!
