look, i like getting lectured in between cuts by experts in their musical fields. thats why last night (not his regular time slot) i listened to phil schaap yang on in a single show history of jazz. one show but there was still time for an exhaustive discussion on king oliver, louis armstrong and new orleans. my terrestrial reception wasnt cutting it so i checked and wkcr columbia univ does have a website with online streaming. with further exploration i found phil schaaps selected archives with in depth focuses on louis armstrong, bix beiderbecke and ornette coleman. im going to guess and say the mlk show is a in depth general history of jazz. schaap is very very knowledgeable on his subject and the shows come off as scholarly lectures. even repetitive playing of the same song pointing out the different solos and band members proformances, dates, location, etc.
Schaap does two great shows to celebrate Louis Armstrong's birthday - the week of July 4th, which Louis believed was his birthdate. And again the week of Aug 4th, which Schaap says was Armstrong's actual date of birth.
right. someting representative of those LA anual shows is on archive (go to the archive link and then to jazz page) in 3 parts. but its encoded in real audio which my mac itunes doesnt support and why wouldnt they allow linking directly to pages inside the site!?
