    Bo Leibowitz honors the legacy of the late great trumpeter Clark Terry.
    Feb 28, 2015

    Trumpeter Clark Terry recently passed away at the age of 94, and KCRW will be celebrating his life and music on Strictly Jazz. A St. Louis native idolized by Miles Davis (also from St. Louis), Terry's puckish, recognizable tone could be heard in a variety of settings, including early stints with the bands of Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Quincy Jones. He became even better known for his conversational scat singing, and "Mumbles" became his trademark hit. He was a regular featured soloist in the Tonight Show band from 1962 to 1972 and was a particular favorite of Johnny Carson. We'll be sampling all of the above on Strictly Jazz.

          Dizzy Gillespie Tribute (part 2)

          October 21st marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Birks ("Dizzy") Gillespie, an innovator of giant proportion who, along with Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, led a musical revolution called bebop that still reverberates. We'll celebrate his centennial with Dizzy's tunes as performed by others, but with a healthy dose of Dizzy's own compositions.
