JAZZ NIGHT IN AMERICA WITH CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE Monday at 9 pm 1/6 Joe Lovano Jazz Night in America heads to Cleveland where we catch up with Joe Lovano.

1/13 Marilyn Maye This episode of Jazz Night In America is at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, as Maye plays a set full of insight, warmth and puckish whimsy. Maye reflects on her long career, starting with the amateur contests that landed her a radio show in Topeka, Kansas, at age 9. She also fields insightful questions from her trusted piano accompanist, Tedd Firth.

1/20 Grover Washington, Jr. Jazz Night in America recently partnered with WRTI, in Grover Washington’s adopted hometown of Philadelphia, to present a tribute concert at the Temple Performing Arts Center. We’ll put you in that room with a wildly enthusiastic crowd, to hear a reunion of Grover Washington band members, and discussions about the legacy and presumptions surrounding “smooth jazz,” and the ways in which Washington both defined and transcended it.

1/27 Wayne Shorter And The Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra In the Spring of 2015, Wayne Shorter’s life-long search for new possibilities landed him on stage with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. This concert offers an unprecedented opportunity to hear Shorter revisit the beautiful melodies that their creator has rarely, if ever, performed since recording them for posterity a half-century ago as well as some of Shorter’s most masterful material, including E.S.P., Lost, and Endangered Species. specials galorandalotofjazzCentennialstocelebratein2020. 26th.
