Jazz on the Tube Interview, Podcasts, Producer-Presenters
Long-time Jazz on the Tube subscribers know we have been dedicated advocates to the idea that arranger/composer/music director/ amplified guitar pioneer/trombone virtuoso Eddie Durham deserves a much higher profile among jazz fans and jazz students than his memory currently enjoys.
How high?
It’s time that he be placed at the level of Duke Ellington and other ESSENTIAL masters of the art.
As an important step in that direction, we’re delighted to announce a MAJOR documentary on Eddie’s life and music that launches tomorrow February 1, 2024.
Details and an informative wide-ranging interview.
Watch the interview above, and for more info on the documentary, click this link.

If you’re around 64 or older you probably remember the shock of the 1968 Olympic leap of Bob Beamon when it happened.
He didn’t just win the gold, he also shattered the world record – and 56 years later it’s still the Olympic record.
What you probably didn’t know, and I didn’t know until very recently, is that Bob has had a passion for Afro-Caribbean music since he was 9 years old growing up in the projects in South Jamaican, Queens.
But he was more than just a fan. Until he went to college and shifted his attention to sports, he was on track to become a professional musician.
Now at 77, he’s playing again. In a band and is on his first CD.
Complete interview – December 29, 2023

Jazz fans who know even the smallest amount of jazz history know the important role church music played in the music’s development.
Everyone from Louis Armstrong to Ornette Coleman has acknowledged the DEEP impact the music of the church had on their art.
Less known is the huge contemporary role gospel plays not only in training young musicians, many of whom become jazz players but also in being an engine of innovation for the music itself.
