Jazz Greats And A Hollywood Hotshot

Sunday, June 28

Tonight on Straight No Chaser, we hear some classics from a range of jazz greats including Jimmy Smith, George Shearing, Don Menza and his Big Band, and Oscar Peterson.

Also listen for some selections by trumpeter Jack Sheldon. In addition to his prolific performing career, Sheldon's recordings have been featured in documentaries and television. He also appeared on The Merv Griffin Show and voiced some of the best-known segments on Schoolhouse Rock! including "I'm Just A Bill". 

Bill Pearce was the host and producer of KMUW’s Straight No Chaser, a music program featuring mostly instrumental jazz, from early music to recent recordings. We’ll miss Bill, and his Sunday night show Straight No Chaser.
