Phil Schaap was THE great champion of jazz.
Among his countless contributions to the music, he managed and promoted the Countsmen, former sidemen of Count Basie’s and other distinguished big band alumni.
Phil never shined as brightly when he was championing the career of Eddie Durham, one of the geniuses from that era. If you listen to no other Phil programs, make sure you catch this one.

We’re going to honor Phil Schaap the same way he honored and supported the music – with a week of special programming dedicated to his work.
If you don’t know the late Phil Schaap, you don’t know jazz.
Leading off, an hour-long interview of Phil conducted by Jake Feinberg for a Tucson radio station.

By and By (We’ll Understand it Better By and By)We’re still getting inspiration from our interview with Cisco Bradley about his biography of William Parker.
He recommended we check out Robin D.G. Kelley’s classic bio “Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original” which we did. (Great book and someday we hope to interview Kelley.)
Meanwhile, Kelley’s book reminded us of the central role the Church and Church music played – and still plays – in the development of our greatest musicians. Everyone from Louis Armstrong to Ornette Coleman has recounted the formative experiences it had on them.
