Join me for the June 15, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with one of the most gifted and accomplished jazz drummers on the scene today, Lewis Nash.

When just 23 years old, Lewis joined Betty Carter’s band which gave him the opportunity to hone his already talented chops. He appears on many of her recordings, including the Grammy Award-winning 1988 CD, “Look What I Got.” It was Lewis’s decade with the Tommy Flanagan Trio for which he may be best known.

He has performed with jazz luminaries like Sonny Rollins, Clark Terry, Wynton Marsalis, and Oscar Peterson to name just a few. Providing inspiration and expertise to students is an important part of Lewis’s career. In 2001, he became a faculty member of the Juilliard School of Music.

Join me for the Feb. 3, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with the great American jazz double bassist, Ron Carter.

His appearances on 2,221 recording sessions make him the most recorded jazz bassist in history. Ron is also a cellist who has recorded numerous times on that instrument. He was a member of the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid 1960s, which also included pianist Herbie Hancock, saxophonist Wayne Shorter and drummer Tony Williams.

He was elected to the Downbeat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2012. In 1993, Ron won a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Group and another Grammy in 1998 for an instrumental composition for the film “Round Midnight.” Be sure to tune into this incredible and unforgettable conversation.
