The New Jazz Archive

What do Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Claudia Schmidt, Thelonious Monk, Eric Clapton, Charles Mingus, Ron Getz and Duke Ellington have in common? Find out on The New Jazz Archive with acclaimed Michigan jazz composer, musician and educator Jeff Haas. Each week, Jeff artfully blends music and storytelling as he explores jazz and its ties to other traditions including rock-n-roll, the blues, soul, world and classical music. Think "radio version of the best liner notes collection ever compiled" ... with an engaging and sometimes edgy soundtrack to back it up.

The concept for The New Jazz Archive was inspired by Duke Ellington's philosophy: When asked to define jazz, the Duke responded, "as long as it's good music there is no need for definitions or categories - it's all music."

This week:


In the 1930s, clarinetist and bandleader Artie Shaw reigned as one of the great kings of the swing era. But just 20 years later, he mysteriously left the music business behind for good. This week on The New Jazz Archive, it's  the life and music of swing anti-hero Artie Shaw. We’ll spend the hour talking with biographer Tom Nolan about Artie’s reluctant rise to stardom during the 1930s and dissect his much publicized rivalry with Benny Goodman. And we’ll take a look at Artie’s abrupt, Shakespearean exit from the music business in the 1950s and explore what made Artie Shaw one of the most innovative and complex voices of the swing era.

I missed the name of one of the flute players featured on the first part of the program on 2/9/13. I know one was Herbie Mann. What was the name of the other flutist? THANK YOU

The other flute selection was called You Did It, You Did It from a recording by Rahsaan Roland Kirk called We Free kings. Rahsaan Roland Kirk was an uiniquely talented musician and composer. Check out this episode of The New Jazz Archive for an in depth look at Rahsaan Roland Kirk: http://thenewjazzarchive.com/wp/2012/07/28/rahsaan-roland-kirk/
