1 week ago

Jazz and creative music from all eras and styles curated by Nou Dadoun. Focusing on new releases, birthdays and significant musical calendar events, and performances & releases relevant to the musical community in Vancouver, Canada and the World!
The music has roots in Black experience so every month is Black History Month. Women are important contributors and participants in this music so every day is Women in Jazz Day.
We celebrate music that has the joy of creation, that knows where its been and (often) tries to see where it's going.
The A-Trane has been on the airwaves on community radio in Vancouver since 1982 and the current host has been in the broadcaster's chair since 1986. Every show starts with a different version of our theme "Take the A Train" relevant to the date or Vancouver performances and then continues with a piece performed or inspired by John Coltrane.
Always engaging, sometimes challenging, never boring - the best in Jazz & Creative music!

The A-Trane 2025-08-15 - Oscar Peterson Centenary

This afternoon's edition of The A-Trane Radio Program is completely in celebration of the Centenary of the great Oscar Peterson born 100 years ago today. We'll celebrate Oscar the pianist, the accompanist and collaborator and the composer with a mix of requests, career highlights and rarities spanning his 60+ year career! Solo, in duo and his many working trios as well as collaborations with Lester Young, Benny Carter, Billie Holiday, Roy Eldridge, Fred Astaire, Stan Getz, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Louis and Ella, Buddy DeFranco, Nelson Riddle, Phil Nimmons and Nine Plus Six, Joe Pass, Oliver Jones and others!

We'll also have a set taken from the 1980 CBC TV series Oscar Peterson and Friends with guests Lorne Lofsky, Butch Watanabe, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Toots Thielemans, Joe Pass, Buddy DeFranco and Zoot Sims! We'll also visit a couple of soundtracks which will be shown at the VIFF Centre tomorrow - the 1949 NFB Norman McLaren short Begone Dull Care and the 1979 dedication to Elliot Gould from The Silent Partner.

With literally hundreds of albums and thousands of recordings, it's hard to do justice to OP in just 3 1/2 hours but I think there's something there for everybody. Maybe something for you, at 100.5FM or coopradio . org starting at 2pm Pacific - check it out!
