Early Zeitlin On The Air

Bill Kirchner's next Jazz From The Archives on WBGO, the Newark, New Jersey, jazz station, will feature the 1960s Columbia recordings of pianist Denny Zeitlin. The program will be an opportunity to hear some of Zeitlin's important work for Columbia that has never been issued on CD. Bill will include tracks from Cathexis, Carnival, Shining Hour and Zeitgeist. The show airs Sunday night at 11:00 EDT. It may also be heard on WBGO's live web stream at 10 p.m. Central time; 8 p.m. Pacific; 8 a.m. Monday, Paris; 10 a.m. Dubai, etc.

Tip: clicking on the "Listen Now" symbol at the upper right corner of WBGO's screen gets you nothing. You must click on the appropriate box in the middle of the screen.

Cathexis and Carnival are on one CD. Shining Hour, also known as Live at the Trident, is out as an import CD. Zeitgeist has never made it to compact disc.
