The Jazz Treasury Podcast is devoted to exhibiting the best of jazz history in the format of an auditory tour of America’s rich indigenous music. Bi-weekly a different aspect of jazz will be presented. It may be a portrait of a musician such as Duke Ellington or John Coltrane. It could be a specific instrument like the bass or trumpet. We may visit a jazz city like Chicago or New Orleans. Other exhibits will focus on genera such as bebop or swing.
Learn a little about four jazz greats, Johnny Hodges, Cootie Williams, Rex Stuart and Barney Bigard, all important members of Duke Ellington's Orchestra and great band leaders of their own right.
