1:00 PM. Jazz Profiles

Nancy Wilson hosts this 16-part Peabody Award-winning series chronicling the people, places and events in jazz, with a focus on legends and musical themes
(9) Count Basie: The Man and his Music, Part 2
The story picks up with the death of Benny Moten and the genesis of Count Basie's first band at the Reno Club in Kansas City. Broadcasts on experimental station W9XBY bring Lester Young and others to Kansas City to see the band they had heard on the radio. Thanks to the addition of Young and the All-American rhythm section, the Basie band bursts onto the national scene. Basie comes to New York with an uncertain reception and then breaks through with his first record contract with Decca. This installment covers a period that marks both the pinnacle of success for Basie's Kansas City style and also some setbacks, including the death of tenor man Herschel Evans, the recording ban of the early 1940s and the advent of World War II (NPR)

"Gati Bongo"
Gati Bongo is a collection of acoustic field recordings of Pygmy yodels and hunting songs found in the Cameroon rain forest, close to the border of the Republic of Congo. It includes the sounds of the acoustic guitar, mandolin and light percussion, backing songs that feature this remarkable Pygmy vocal style. Gati Bongo is strongly influenced by the more contemporary and urban sounds of the modern Congolese that basically encourages listeners to dance (March Music MAHACD 23)
