FROM THE SHOW: JAZZ FEST 2001
Jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis blends the gospel music he heard in his house and church growing up with the blues he heard on the streets of Chicago. Lewis looks back over his career, reflecting on his early training in classical music, his relationship with Chicago DJ Daddy-O Daylie, recording for Chess Records, and his first big hit, 1965's "The In Crowd." Reflecting on his life, Lewis also looks forward to an upcoming performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
SUMMER SOUNDS-BEING & STAYING COOL
This summer we try to be and stay...cool. Leading our in-crowd is the late pianist and jazz radio host Ramsey Lewis in conversation about blending the blues he heard on the Chicago streets with gospel music from home to create a cool version of jazz. We'll also hear cool words and music from Tom Waits, Dr. John, Aretha Franklin, Albert Murray, and Oscar Brown, Jr. Plus a visit to North Carolina's historic Black Seabreeze Beach.

GUILTY PLEASURES VOLUME 2: THEN & NOW
For Volume 2 of our Guilty Pleasures series, we revel in the freedom to create an eclectic flow--during these days of algorithmic radio--from Lotte Lenya singing "Mack the Knife" to a Japanese take on Archie Bell and the Drells' "Tighten Up." We look back on the summer season with music from the Kinks and John Prine, and cool down with tunes by Ramsey Lewis and Oscar Brown, Jr. Plus some listener-requested guilty pleasures from Bob Marley to Bonnie Raitt. Sit back, tune in, and indulge guilt-free!

COOL II
"Cool"--it's one of those words that's difficult to define, but you know it when you hear it. Join us as some of our favorite folks expound on the meaning of "cool," and play some really cool music--Tom Waits, Dave Brubeck, Solomon Burke, Carol Fran, Dr. John and lots more. Plus, there's interviews with a couple of guys that definitely fit the cool criteria: "In Crowd" member and pianist Ramsey Lewis, and alto saxophonist Lee Konitz.
