We bring our audience some live concerts from the Lincoln Center Jazz Or- chestra. There’s also Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola right down the hall, so musicians are always coming through. Since I’m live every day, we’ve created an environ- ment where the musicians feel comfortable just dropping by for live interviews, or they have a new record out, or they live here and just stop by. I just had a great interview with Karrin Allyson. We went through her entire album and she basically took over the channel for an hour, but it was cool. I think a lot of Satellite radio isn’t really the future anymore. It’s the present. Yeah. It’s still a work in progress, but we’ve come a long way in a short period jazz stations of time. have become Where is there room for improvement? more academic I think that as we grow, we’ll be able to do more things than we’ve already and less done.

There’s so much music to cover, a hundred “ years worth. radio station. What is the focus of Real Jazz? It’s pretty much a straight-ahead jazz channel. I deal with bebop, so it’s Monk, Miles, Coltrane and all the classics like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. We also have a shows like Organized, which deals with the B3 players. We have a show call Manteca, which is a Latin jazz show. We have Real Jazz Live on Saturday night where we do a classic live recording or something that just came out. On Sundays we do a traditional New Orleans-style jazz show called The French Quarter. We also have other channels like Beyond Jazz, which deals with fusion. There’s also Watercolors, which is our contemporary jazz channel. There’s also Frank’s Place, which [noted Sinatra scholar and Ameri- can song expert] Jonathan Schwartz handles. Unlike other regular stations, which have limited hours of programming, we have diﬀerent channels and commercial-free programming 24 hours a day, so it makes it easier to spread out. How much new material do you program? I would say that 30 percent of programming is current releases. It could be the young cats, or someone like Dave Brubeck and his London Flat, London Sharp record. We’re also playing Sean Jones and Ron Blake. Anything caught your ear right now?

Venus, a Japanese label. Having Todd right there – ten feet away -- is real handy. I hear stuff before it even comes out. What’s your background? How did you get into radio? Well I did a lot of different things. I was in the Marines. Then after the Ma- rine Corps I got into college radio. I did blues and jazz. Then I got into commercial radio in 1977 in a variety of formats – country, disco, R&B. In the eight years before XM I worked at WVAZ in Chicago, which was the first Contemporary Urban Adult station in America. I was the first voice on the air in 1988 when the station launched. I then came back in 1992 as the operations manager (I wasn’t on the air). I took the station to number one and kept it there for the entire time I was there. We won two [Nation- al Association of Broadcasters] Marconi Awards. It was a great radio station. I worked in like 14 different markets over the years. I became something of a turnaround expert – the station would be failing and I would come in and change the format and then make the station successful. And that led to XM? I had been following the satellite technology for a while. They were trying to figure out where to the Digital Audio Broadcast thing, whether it was going to be a whole new band to the right. I had actually invested in XM when it went public even before I thought about coming to work for them.

I Lincoln Center. created a radio station that just so happens to play jazz. Why do you say that? I think a lot of jazz stations have become more academic and less entertaining. So we try to create an entertaining radio station. We want people to smile, you know? We’re having fun. When you go to a jazz club, concert or festival, there is no one there talking about a chord progression. They listen and say: “That s— is swing! That s— is happening!” That’s what jazz radio was back when it was pop music.

You seem to a schedule fairly well laid out in advance. How well do you react to jazz topic of the day? When John Hicks passed away, I had interviewed John in 2002 when he came to Washington -- we pulled that interview and ran it. We had a whole day dedicated to John Hicks and played his music. Jackie McLean the same thing. It’s also birthdays: on Duke Ellington’s Birthday we did 24 hours of Duke. We do 24 hours of Miles. There are icons in jazz that deserve that kind of recogni- tion. What kind of feedback do you get? Jazz has always We get great feedback. I don’t know how many emails we get, but its hun- dreds. People are always turning us on to music. There is some much music out been about there that it is impossible to know it all unless you are Phil Schaap. It’s exciting risks. It’s the to me when people email us to tell us about artists. Musicians are doing that all the time too. I’m always asking musicians who they like. nature of the How do you program for an audience spread over different time zones with music. We try different interests? to meet people’s I try to stay in the middle with my thinking. You don’t want to be too soft or expectations too loud. You have to have a balance of the styles that you play. You wouldn’t want to hit someone with five Albert Ayler songs in a row. and surprise “ I don’t imagine that you play Ayler on Real Jazz. them with the I play Ornette Coleman. We take some chances. I met Wayne Shorter a few unexpected. years ago and he asked me: “Are you taking chances?” I said: “I left Chicago to move to Washington, so I took a chance right there.” Jazz has always been about risks. It’s the nature of the music. We try to meet people’s expectations and surprise them with the unexpected. How did you find your way to jazz? I played music as a kid, some jazz but mostly cocktail music because they made us play it. I didn’t want to play “Girl From Ipanema” at all. I listened to it as a kid some, and in college. I also had a pretty extensive collection. I’ve always been a jazz fan, and that’s the kind of attitude I bring to the channel. So what the hell is “Jazzitude?” It’s a certain attitude and stationality. It’s a swagger we have about who we are and what we do. You got to have a point of view and “Jazzitude” is our point of view. When you watch The Sopranos it has a certain point of view. When you listen to Real Jazz we have a certain point of view in how we announce songs, the way we play them, the imaging, and the pieces in-between. It just shows that we are serious about what we’re doing here. JW

Gnappy

® Unloaded (Bean Pie Records) PART OF A genre and sound just itching to add some vigor to jazz radio, Gnappy slaps you upside the head with nods to ’70s funk and a healthy dose of jam band danceability. Unloaded, the group’s third CD, is a tight, horn-infused disc that will please soul- jazz fans and groove kids alike. The title track is a toe-tap- ping funky shuﬄe (but jazz stations will want to stick to the instrumental version, avoiding the spoken vocal.) Other recommended tracks include the boogaloo “Gatorade Brain,” the blistering “Grease Don’t Freeze,” and a slightly hip-hopped and burning “Oleo.” Gnappy could be the ticket to draw in the younger demographic – or spark up the CTI-era crowd, without being too much of a jolt.

Try it in a set with some Jimmy Smith, Lou Donaldson or We are born with limitless potential. Help us make sure that we all Lee Morgan and watch what happens. have the chance to achieve.

�� ❏ �� ❏ �� Closing Number Just Five of Many From Grant Green

rant Green would have been 75 on June 6, but passed away Jan. 31, 1979. Some of the extra- curriculars of his life have tarnished his status as a jazz giant, but his inﬂuence is felt today by Gany guitarist in the bebop or groove vein. He’s also a personal favorite of mine. – Tad Hendrickson

The Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark (Blue Note)

Long only avail in Japan, Green is in brilliant bebop mode on this abridged version of the Mosaic box. – TH

Green Street (Blue Note)

Without chordal accompaniment, Green’s guitar is set free against a spare backdrop of bass and drums. – ET

Idle Moments (Blue Note)

A classic with perhaps the deﬁnitive version of the title track. – TH

Am I Blue (Blue Note)

Feeling like an after hours set, Green is bluesy and laid back on these ﬁve standards. – ET

Grantstand (Blue Note)

Green masters some very extended grooves on this early soul jazz classic. – ET
