Short List with Bob Naujoks
Mon. - Thurs. at 8:35 AM and Saturday at 7 AM
The Short List: B-3 Blitz Two: Chris Foreman
Chris Foreman, of the
Chicago-based Deep Blue Organ Trio, has been blind since birth, but that seems
to be no handicap. Foreman started out in the late 1970s at music bars on
Chicago’s South Side, but is now a mainstay on the Windy City jazz scene.
Long-time friend drummer Greg Rockingham and the legendary guitarist Bobby
Broom have performed with Foreman over the years in different settings, but
finally formed the Deep Blue Organ Trio permanently. Their “home base” is the
renowned Green Mill Club.

Dirty Dozen Brass Band at the Newport Jazz Festival
2013
by Patrick Jarenwattananon (npr.org)
“One of the original
new-school New Orleans brass bands, a Dirty Dozen show guarantees a good time.
This year actually marks three dozen years since the first incarnation of the
group coalesced to resurrect a then-disappearing tradition — and infuse it with
both bebop and funk. As with many a show since '77, there was dancing and
handkerchief-waving aplenty, and several original members were present to
anchor the proceedings.”

Anat Cohen

Explain” before rounding out the hour with “What a Little Moonlight Will Do.”
