This week on The New Jazz Archive, it’s an hour with the legends of sixties soul jazz. We’ll talk with veteran record producer Bob Porter about the colorful characters of soul jazz and the essential artists and recordings for building your soul jazz library, and go inside the quirky, funky invention that was the Hammond B3 organ with Organissimo frontman Jim Alfredson. And we’ll listen to music by organ icons Jimmy Smith and Jimmy McGriff, sax titan Gene Ammons and the modern soul jazz sounds of Medeski, Martin and Wood.

Jazz at Lincoln Center
Tuesday at 10pm (repeats Wednesday at 3am)
The Music of Bud Powell and Earl Hines
The story of the modern jazz piano can be heard in the hands of Earl “Fatha” Hines and Earl “Bud” Powell. Hines worked with Louis Armstrong and brought a new dimension from ragtime; Powell’s inventive, emotional soloing brought the piano into the bebop era. Pianist Marcus Roberts and his nonet take us through theses innovators of piano with songs such as Bubbling Over and Dance of the Infidels.
