Join me for the Aug. 17, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with world-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli.
John has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” The Toronto Star pegged him as “the genial genius of the guitar.” And the Seattle Times saluted him as “a rare entertainer of the old school.”
Established as one of the prime contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Pizzarelli has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim and the Beatles. His themed shows, often performed with his wife, Jessica Molaskey, suggest there is no limit to Pizzarelli’s imagination or talent.

Join me for the Aug. 10, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with Cuban-born trumpet player Arturo Sandoval.
Arturo is one of the most dynamic and vivacious live performers of our time, and has been seen by millions at the Oscars, at the Grammy Awards, and the Billboard Awards. Sandoval is a protégé of legendary jazz trumpet player Dizzy Gillespie. He began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn’t take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world. He has since evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugelhorn, as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer.
He has been awarded 10 Grammy Awards, and nominated 19 times and he also has received six Billboard Awards and an Emmy Award. The latter award was for his composing work on the entire underscore of the HBO movie based on his life, “For Love or Country,” that starred Andy Garcia as Sandoval. He was presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 by Barack Obama.

Join me for the Aug. 3, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with up-and-coming Montréal-based jazz vocalist Laura Anglade.
Laura is currently making a name for herself on the Canadian jazz scene and beyond. Originally from a small village in the south of France and raised in Connecticut, she is influenced by her parents’ gypsy jazz and classical backgrounds.
Some of her inspirations include Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Anita O’Day, Shirley Horn and Blossom Dearie. Laura has made several appearances on the New York, Québec City and Toronto jazz scenes, and performs regularly at local venues, including Upstairs Jazz Bar and Grill and Dièse Onze.
She has also performed in numerous jazz festivals including the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. Her debut album “I’ve Got Just About Everything”, which came out in June 2019 on Justin Time Records, has been met with praise by critics and fans alike.
