Outside-Inside-Out

This past week my man Lucas and I had our second installment of The Turnaround, our weekly two hour jazz radio show on KJHK, the University of Kansas’ student radio station.  If you’re not in the Lawrence area, then you can listen online every Wednesday night from 8-10 central time by logging on to http://www.kjhk.org.

A highlight this week was a listener who called in about an hour or so into the show asking if this was a “jazz show.”  To be fair I think John Zorn’s Naked City was playing as she called.  Just a reminder that not everything I would throw under the jazz category would get the same treatment by everyone else.  And so we gladly played her request for Ellington’s “Black and Tan Fantasy.”  Because it’s awesome, and so are our listeners.

In case you missed it, here’s what was spinning on The Turnaround last Wednesday night….
