About this listen

On this episode of Jazz Epicenter 6.7, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Kennedy Center Honoree, and seven-time Grammy Award winner Ralph Johnson takes you deep into the jazz scape — where the landmarks disappear and the music leads the way

Broadcasting on 91.5 KUNV, this hour celebrates the finest jazz from the 60s and 70s — and more — featuring legendary recordings and timeless performances from:

  • Herbie Hancock Quintet (Tribute to Miles)
  • Kenny Kirkland with Branford Marsalis
  • Charles Earland
  • Diane Schuur
  • Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra
  • Quincy Jones
  • Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66
  • Joe Sample
  • Curtis Fuller
  • Paul Desmond
  • Lee Morgan – “The Sidewinder”
  • Milt Jackson
  • Nancy Wilson (arranged by Oliver Nelson)
  • Gato Barbieri
  • Dianne Reeves
  • San Francisco Jazz Collective
  • Gerald Clayton

From hard bop to Brazilian jazz, soul-jazz to orchestral big band arrangements, this episode captures the elegance, fire, and improvisational brilliance that define classic jazz radio.

As Ralph reminds us, the jazz scape has no signs — where you wind up is all in your mind.

Be kind. Be cool. Be safe. Be blessed.
