Al Naylor and the I-380 Express
Led by trumpeter, teacher and 2013 inductee into the Jazz Educators of Iowa Hall of Fame, Al Naylor, the I-380 Express was for many years, the premier big band in Eastern Iowa. The group was best known for serving as the “house band” for the Variety Club Telethon on KCRG-TV, where it played its own charts and also backed up many regional and national artists. The band included music faculty from UNI, UI and Drake, along with professional players from all over the state. This reunion performance was the first for I-380 Express since 2007.

Dennis McMurrin and the Demolition Band
Dennis “Daddy-O” McMurrin, a member of the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame, has been entertaining audiences for more than 45 years. He first picked up a guitar when he was 9 years old, influenced by his maternal grandfather, who played guitar as a hobby. “My first paid gig was in 1963 for the Boddicker School of Music Christmas Party at the Danceland in Cedar Rapids.” says McMurrin. He was 10 years old. “My first band was called The Plannets.” McMurrin’s biggest influences include James Brown, B.B. King, Johnny Winter, and Tower Of Power.

Short List with Bob Naujoks
Mon. - Thurs. at 8:35 AM and Saturday at 7 AM
The Short List: B-3 Blitz Two: Papa John DeFrancesco
As the phrase goes “like father, like son,” but in this case, it’s reversed---“like son, like father.” Papa John’s son, Joey, claimed fame first, but the father was on the scene first with bandleader Cab Calloway and others. When the family came along, John decided to forgo touring and stay at home in Philadelphia. He became a Philly jazz legend and with his son’s success, a nationally known jazzman.

Jazz Profiles with Nancy Wilson
Monday at 6:00 PM
Mary Lou Williams, 'Perpetually Contemporary'
Mary Lou Williams achieved and maintained a status that many women in jazz found elusive: unwavering respect from male colleagues as a musical equal. Her accomplishments are many as arranger and pianist with Andy Kirk and his Twelve Clouds of Joy, with her own small groups, and with the be-bop artists of the '40s. Throughout, she was always -- as Duke Ellington once said -- "perpetually contemporary."

Maceo Parker: Funky Stuff
Funk's living legend Maceo Parker brings red-blooded soul to the Allen Room. He's played alongside James Brown, George Clinton, and Prince - but on his own, he's a force to be reckoned with. Maceo Parker's compositions burst with energy as he leads "the Tightest Little Funk Orchestra On Earth" through a set including Off The Hook, Georgia on My Mind, and Make It Funky.
