Larry Slater hosts Jazz Connections tonight, Saturday April 24th at 7pm It’s no secret that Larry loves the sound of the saxophone, and is enamored with jazz history. So when he discovered a post on the pianist Ethan Iverson’s blog Do The Math from the journalist and author Mark Stryker, with commentary on some lesser known saxophonists of the 50s, 60s and 70s, he knew that this was great material for a Jazz Connections show.... We all know the big names: Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, and Wayne Shorter. But how often do we remember and listen to Ernie Henry, Junior Cook, Frank Foster, Frank Strozier or Booker Ervin? Join Larry Slater, Sonoma County's JazzMD, as he explores the music of these lesser known saxophonists- with commentary from Mark Stryker’s blog post. Tonight ! Mark Stryker has recently published a book on Jazz from Detroit https://jazzfromdetroit.com/
