ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE:

Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!!

The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources.

The Major Scale can boast amongst it’s guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar.

Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it’s umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that’s what the Major Scale strives to do.

For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between.

The Major Scale pays homage to the one of the most innovative artists America has ever produced, Cecil Taylor. As a bedrock of the avant-garde, Taylor’s output never looked back, progressing ever forward with originality and tenacity. Educator Matt Gorney joins us to discuss this idiosyncratic composer and share memories of the time his group, Civic Minded 5, booked Mr. Taylor for an unforgettable concert that is still talked about today.

According to Vanity Fair a new wave of jazz is in full bloom across the globe and Sam Friend is a key part of it. Somewhere between New York and New Orleans, Friend gathered a style that puts him at a crossroads of Randy Newman, Ben Sidran, and Mose Allison. Vocal, quirky, reflective, his unique sound is best heard to be appreciated..

The Major Scale is humbled and proud to bring you one of the finest artists America ever produced, the incomparable Ahmad Jamal! He spoke with us about his latest effort, the beautiful Marseille, as well as the state of things today and American classical music – that’s what we squares call jazz.

Staying on theme, Noah Haidu is another artist who has a way with the piano. Downbeat certainly noticed, they consider his Infinite Distances among the best albums of 2017. If things keep going they way they are, Mr. Haidu will rank among the likes of the aforementioned Ahmad Jamal. One listen and you’ll know why
