jazzweek.com • February 9, 2005 JazzWeek 9 Legends In Radio: Leigh Kamman

by Tad Hendrickson

innesota Public Radio is primarily recognized on a national level as the home to Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home MCompanion. Yet this public radio powerhouse has a number of locally produced radio shows, one of which is Leigh Kam- man’s The Jazz Image. To talk jazz with many Minnesota natives, which includes myself, the conversation inevitably gets around to Kamman: he’s voice of jazz for many in the state. Running 9:05 p.m. Sat- urday to 2 a.m. Sunday, the show ranges from Basin Street blues to modern avant garde. Kamman’s strength, however, is the music of Ellington and classic bebop, and his on-air analysis and information is pep- pered with ﬁrst hand accounts of conversations with Ellington or Louis Armstrong. Kamman’s delivery is slow and deliberate; his rumbling baritone sounds weathered after 65 years in broadcasting. His life in radio began in high school and he carried on through military service a professional career that continues to this day. JazzWeek caught up with Kamman on a recent evening in his oﬃce. Minnesota Public Radio JW: When did you get into radio? Minnesota’s voice of jazz, Leigh Kamman, began his radio career in 1939. Kamman: Roughly in a really active way in 1939 while a student at St. Paul Central High School in St. Paul, Minnesota. A friend and I pitched a show to WMIN, but we didn’t get it. We did, however, get one as gophers. We rode with the radio station’s remote unit; we kept track of distributing the mail and sweeping and cleaning studios. While we did that, we campaigned hard to present the show we’d pitched. The concept was based on three or four elements: it was a show- case for big band; another strip was for record collectors; and then the most highly rated recordings of the week as announced in publications. Also, we would tap the listeners for what that would be, too. It would use records, but the idea was also to have a studio audience of people our age. That was the be- continued ... jazzweek.com • February 9, 2005 JazzWeek 10 Legends in Radio: Leigh Kamman (continued)

ginning of it all. We called it Operation Studio Party Wham. Wham was taken from a song with a Jimmie Lunceford band and it was the theme. It was a cross section of pop culture of the day – big bands, small combos, studio opinion of the listeners. We finally got a spot midnight to 1 a.m. on Saturdays. How old were you? Seventeen and a half. Before you entered the service, you worked in Duluth right? “It’s about using the We decided that the war was coming and so we hitch-hiked to Duluth because they heard that the staff announcers were being called into service.

We used to go down to The Flame which had great bands by any standards. During the last cycle the club had Coleman Hawkins around the the brain to the time that “Body And Soul” was popular. We picked him up live from the club and presented in a show Symphony In Riffs. WEBC were the call letters. It was spoken word, which an NBC affiliate. has always been a And you were there when Hawkins met Oscar Pettiford? challenge.” Oscar Pettiford came up from Minneapolis, where he’s from, to play The Flame. And he was a big disciple of Jimmy Blanton and he could play much of the material that Blanton had recorded. The arrival of Pettiford on Satur- day and his sound check in the afternoon attracted the attention of Coleman Hawkins. He looked at Oscar and then he looked at the bass and said: “Why don’t you play something for me.” And he played a piece that Blanton com- posed – a tremendous exercise – and Hawkins was so impressed that he told Pettiford to sit in, which Oscar did. Then we adjourned to an all-night jam session at the station. That’s how Oscar tied up with Coleman in the beginning before he left Minneapolis/St. Paul with Charlie Barnet. That helped open the doors for later. Once in the military you continued to work in radio? I ended up in Information and Special Services and landed in an environment that generated music, info and programming, both closed circuit for those in bed and regular broadcasts for those that were ambulatory. This was for the NBC affiliate KOAN in Denver. We did this series called Clambake and Kha- ki. We did shows on different hospital wards each week. It was called Yank Sick Call and the spokesperson was Karl Malden. Did you study broadcasting in an official manner? Yes. Under a man named V.W. Ziebarth. Who was a fine professor at the Uni- versity of Minnesota. You have such a great radio voice. I can’t imagine it needing training. It’s about using the instrument, and trying to connect the brain to the spoken word, which has always been a challenge. continued ... jazzweek.com • February 9, 2005 JazzWeek 11 Legends in Radio: Leigh Kamman (continued)

How long were you in New York? I spent six years in New York, working four years of that time out of Harlem. We broadcasted from a saloon called the Palm, which was just down from the Apollo. That was entirely in remote with live music. We had guests on from all over. It ranged from Duke Ellington to Quincy Jones undiscovered and Clif- ford Brown. Chet Baker. Stan Kenton. Lucky Millinder. Billie Holiday. We broadcast over WOV-AM Radio in New York. Then back to Minnesota. I did a live broadcast for KSTP for a series on NBC called Monitor Radio. We taped the shows and they were distributed to NBC affiliates all over the U.S. We were a part of a sequence that started in New York at Embers or Birdland, de- pending. Then it would go to Chicago at Mr. Kelly’s or the London House. In Minneapolis to a place called Freddy’s. Then west to either Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Every hour it was a different location so you get panorama of jazz from all across the country. How long were you at KSTP? Worked for five years at KSTP. Did two shows: Image of the ’60s and Image Jazz. Image of the ’60s was a magazine show that had different things. I even interviewed Lenny Bruce. What was that like? It was pretty wild. He was such a spontaneous character. One interview centered on the fact that on his bill at a place called Freddy’s was this hyp-

notist. He was very kind to her and coached her Minnesota Public Radio because she was kind of raw, but very skilled at Leigh Kamman began broadcasting at Minnesota Public Radio in 1973. hypnotizing people. When he did his act it was the same one that he did in New York. He did some pretty outrageous things in the club but not on the air. KSTP had remote lines into club and I interviewed him. During the interview I asked him if he would give us his impressions on how radio inﬂu- enced and propagandized during WWII. It wasn’t planned. And he gave us impressions of Tokyo Rose when she’d say: “Hello boys. This music is for you. And I hope that you’re homesick and thinking of that lovely woman of yours who is back there in the States in the arms of some rich Jewish industrial- ist,” or something to that eﬀect. It was pretty frank and straight forward at the time. It did produce a lot of reaction. I sat and listened to him after hours a lot. Unfortunately those tapes were erased. They were rotated because the station continued ... jazzweek.com • February 9, 2005 JazzWeek 12 Legends in Radio: Leigh Kamman (continued)

didn’t want to buy any more tape. When did you start at Minnesota Public Radio? 1973. Was that right after KSTP? No I began freelancing here. I was also trying to develop with a couple of friends a middle of the road classical and jazz commercial radio station. That was KQRS [now a longtime leading FM rock station]. It wasn’t owned by Dis- ney at the time. It was owned by this attorney, who was council for ABC, and his brother. They gave us a shot, but it was a losing fight. By 1973 I was working at 3M in the licensing of background music. I was trying to convince Minnesota Public Radio as it was developing to program jazz. When did The Jazz Image come into being? Right off the bat. It ran from Friday night to Saturday morning. 10:30 to 6 am. It was a long shift. Did you ever fall asleep on the air? Find out more about Leigh Kamman and his No I was too nervous to do that. [laughs] I was also working with a few other program The Jazz Image at: people, who worked the board. And that’s the reason I didn’t fall asleep, really. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/pro- The show switched from Saturday to Sunday. Now it’s 9:05 to 2 a.m. grams/jazz_image/ How has your show changed over the years? It’s expanded in its content. It goes from early New Orleans material to modern experimental music. It’s also much more in a strictly timed format now. It used to be more informal. Now we do these five hours and it’s centered around news [breaks] and whatever else where we need to be in and out at a certain time. There used to be only a station break deadline. Do you still work with vinyl? I haven’t worked vinyl recently. I do have the capacity to do it, but just haven’t. I’m in the CD medium primarily. There are still a few vinyl references I’d like to use before my time is up. What do you mean? Are you quitting? No. Before I fall off my perch, as the British say. So are you still making the scene and keeping up with new releases? Absolutely. We really have three very nice jazz clubs here now. I try my best to get out to the big halls and the little halls. I’m not out 3-4 nights a week, but I do get out for the highlights. For instance, Randy Weston opens tonight at the Dakota and I first interviewed him at the Palm in Harlem in the 1950s, maybe two or three. Are you still doing telephone interviews on the air? I do five a week now. Some overseas, but mostly in the U.S. and Canada. I do continued ... authors as well. jazzweek.com • February 9, 2005 JazzWeek 13 Legends in Radio: Leigh Kamman (continued)

Is there a mission that you adhere to? I dedicate it to the fact that jazz is an international language, so the programming is really from international sources. Each hour starts somewhere before an audience. So it might be John Toots Thielemans in the Netherlands, recorded by Norman Granz. It might be John Toots Thielemans on tour with Benny Goodman in 1950 out of Stockholm. Then locally here. I also touch down in New York, San Francisco, Kansas City – wherever an audience is available on “I think that local recording. Then there is some live recording on the program that we did on location. We haven’t done a lot of that recently. We also cover local and regional angle is an important artists. one. It’s a paradigm I think that local angle is an important one. It’s a paradigm of radio that is sometimes forgotten. I think it’s forgotten a lot, particularly on the commercial of radio that is side with its tight formats. sometimes forgotten. Do you record your show in advance or are you a live guy? On occasion I’ll do one in advance, but mostly live.

I would phone the Embers, once in a while the Village Vanguard or Birdland. The Apollo Theater. I remember when Fletcher Henderson passed away: I called Armstrong at the Apollo and talked to him about his memories of Fletcher. I would call hotels that had bands play there and talk to the musicians. I’d talk to Tommy Dorsey to get his thoughts on young musicians of the day. I’d go through the maitre d’ and the room they were playing in to get that ambiance. How do the interviews work these days? I do them on the half hour – 9:30, 10:30, etc. Sometimes I’ll do more than one segment with the same artist. Maybe go chapter by chapter with one artist. Then surround them with their music. I might also insert music by others that would stimulate their observations about an artist and their music. Why keep at it? Most people would be playing golf in Florida by this time. I don’t have the money to do that, which is a theme that is quite prevalent in this ﬁeld. I just enjoy doing it. It’s kind of a disease. It’s also inspiring to musicians still up there performing when other people their age would have retired. Have you ever thought of doing a book? Lately I’ve been thinking there should be a history of radio, pre- and post-war. There isn’t one out there. It wouldn’t be a best seller, but it would be a text and an important reference. continued ... jazzweek.com • February 9, 2005 JazzWeek 14 Legends in Radio: Leigh Kamman (continued)

Well, what about an autobiography? You have so many great first hand stories? Have you heard of Al Jazzbo Collins? We used to be competitors in New York, but we would sometimes meet for lunch across from Tiffany’s. I think of all he did over the years, but he never got it to the autobiographical stage. Dave Gar- roway was another. It goes on like that. There’s other broadcasters that worked in this medium. I’m a one of a kind in a field of so many one of a kinds. What’s the difference between Minnesota and New York audiences? Here I’ve met farmers who have the show piped into dairy barns. The con- trast is that working out of Harlem and broadcasting to three or four states and ships at sea, where the station was heard, there wasn’t much farming going on. There is a legion of penitentiaries where people listen to us. New York is an urban center, a concrete block. Here we have the prairie. Why haven’t you really left? It’s much easier to raise a family here. That’s what drove us back. I’m just glad that I’m still working. JW ��
