Show Blue Notes Jazz On The Air By NICK SNOW Utah radio listeners and television tele-vision viewers will be able to pick up on the action from the two major jazz festivals during the next few weeks: NBC Radio (in this area, KSXX 630) will be running spots from this year's Newport Jazz Festival through the weekend on the Monitor Mon-itor program, as well as a Saturday Sat-urday night special from 5:05 to 7:45, according to KSXX Program Pro-gram Director Joe Redburn. Featured Fea-tured will be Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Herbie Mann, Dizzy Gillespie and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Stereo systems at Jerry Johnson's Camelot and Camelot South will be tuned in to the special as well. NET has started repeating its series on the 1967 Monterey Jazz Festival featuring incredible performances per-formances by Dizzy Gillespie, Don EUis, Carman McRae and others. The first was this week on NET Festival, but there are two more left and are probably as close as film can get to taking viewers into the jazz festival atmosphere. Watch it on KUED. . . |
