WFMT Jazz Network Special: The Jazz Men

Join Jazz Network host Dave Schwan for a deep dive into the lives, times, and monumental music of three jazz giants. Schwan talks with veteran journalist and author Larry Tye about his recent book exploring the pathways of Ellington, Armstrong, and Basie, and how their actions and music helped pave the way for the Civil Rights Movement. Moments from this compelling conversation bring context to some of the trio’s best music, including West End Blues, It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing), Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue, One O’Clock Jump, and much more.
