IPR's Monthly Jazz Digest

September 2024: Jazz Legends and Icons of the 40s and 50s

Listen

This month, we’re revisiting the Jazz Legends and Icons of the late 1940s and the decade of the 1950s, a period of rapid change within the jazz lexicon. We’ll be listening to musicians who forever changed the direction of American jazz and who have gone down in music history as true pioneers of the genre. Our playlist includes John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Sarah Vaughn, Dave Brubeck and many more. That’s Saturday September 28th, at 8pm, only on Indiana Public Radio.
