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 2025-09-05 - Sonny Rollins, Art Pepper, Saxophones

The focus is on Saxophones on this afternoon's edition of The A-Trane Radio Program!

Vancouver is celebrating this weekend's birthday of Sonny Rollins with a series of concerts recreating albums from his amazing career culminating in a screening of Robert Mugge's documentary at the VIFF Theatre this Sunday (Sonny's actual 95th birthday!) We'll sample from the albums in that tribute series and include the legendary performance of G-Man from that doc!

Art Pepper's Centenary was earlier this week and we'll take a sweep across his career in two extended sets separated by his 1960s hiatus demonstrating his mastery of the horn in both blazing tempos and achingly beautiful ballads. (Included is the piece dedicated to Laurie Pepper recorded in Toronto with Bernie Senensky, Gene Perla, David Piltch and Terry Clark released on Widow's Taste!)

Also included, new releases from David Murray (who also takes in the theme), Nicole Glover, Greg Abate and the new release from George Coleman Sr. and Strings dedicated to you!

Blowing our horns at 100.5FM or coopradio . org starting at Two Pacific!
