Join me for the April 20, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with bop drummer/composer, Artt Frank.

Artt is one of the few authentic bop musicians on the scene today. He is best known for his long-term association with trumpet player Chet Baker, with whom he worked on and off for 14 years. He has also worked with Jimmy Heath, Al Cohn, Ted Curson, Sonny Stitt, Phil Moore and many others, including one memorable night with Billie Holiday. He also sat in on several occasions with Charlie Parker, Lee Morgan, Tadd Dameron, Dexter Gordon and Bud Powell.

Artt Frank is my all-time favorite drummer. He always seems to know where I’m going. — Chet Baker

Join me for the Dec. 9, 2019, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with the great American hard bop jazz pianist Benny Green.

He has been compared to Bud Powell and Oscar Peterson in style and counts them as influences. Benny joined Betty Carter’s band in 1983, and since 1991 he has led his own trio. He’s recorded for Blue Note Records, Telarc and Criss Cross Jazz.
