Special Guest Thomas Wendt returns for a monthly visit - this time to explore the remarkable career of bassist George Duvivier—one of jazz's most recorded and respected sidemen. Though rarely in the spotlight himself, Duvivier's impeccable time, rich tone, and musical versatility made him the first call for generations of bandleaders and soloists.
The playlist follows George Duvivier's remarkable journey through nearly every chapter of modern jazz. The swing era with Lucky Millinder; with pianists Mary Lou Williams, Sonny Clark and Herbie Nichols. Plus, musical adventure with Thad Jones, Gil Mellé, Eric Dolpy, Ron Carter and a stunning small group date with Sarah Vaughan.
Join the conversation with host Marty Ashby as Thomas Wendt shines a light on one of jazz's true unsung masters— bassist George Duvivier.
Friday and Sunday night at 6, and 1pm, Saturday on WZUM.
