A New Month Starts With Older Masters

Sunday, August 2

Tonight Straight No Chaser kicks off the new month with a trip in the 'wayback machine'. We'll hear from the aptly-named Slide Hampton and his nine-piece World of Trombones band. Also three masters of the keys: pianists Horace Silver and Norman Simmons, and organist Jimmy Smith.

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.
