The Short List: B-3 Blitz Two: Mel Rhyne (new series)
The B-3 Blitz Two series on the
great Hammond B-3 organ players continues with Mel Rhyne. Rhyne’s legacy is his
work with the innovative Indianapolis guitarist, Wes Montgomery, and that early
1960s trio. Rhyne also had a twenty-year low-key career in Milwaukee after his
stint with Montgomery ended. But in the early 1990s he was back on the national
stage with new recordings with Herb Ellis, Joshua Redman and Peter Bernstein.
Jazz Profiles with Nancy Wilson
Monday at 6:00 PM
Harry "Sweets" Edison: Simplicity In Swing
Swinging and singing -- both
describe the unmistakable sound of Harry "Sweets" Edison, one of the
most important stylists in the history of jazz trumpet. Sweets plays with a
simplicity born of sophisticated artistry. It propelled him to the Count Basie
Band, which he joined in 1937, thereafter becoming one of its most frequently
featured soloists. This program, produced just before his death, celebrates
Edison's spare style that blends subtle humor, impeccable timing, and the
sweetly muted tone that gave him his nickname.
