New Show: Joys of Jazz
Finding The Joys of Jazz Wherever He Goes
For Immediate Release November 18, 2013
Media Contact: Jonathan Westerling – jonathan@radiosausalito.org
SAUSALITO, CA – Bob Hecht’s vacation itinerary usually includes one-on-one time with great jazz artists in cities all over the world. For example, a recent trip to Europe was an opportunity not only to enjoy the City of Light, but also to share a microphone with legendary pianist and Paris resident Kirk Lightsey, past staff pianist with Motown Records. “We spent an afternoon just hanging out at his place and recording the interview,” says Hecht, a veteran jazz DJ who has previously interviewed Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane, Erroll Garner and many others.
This Friday, Hecht will launch a new show on Radio Sausalito called the Joys of Jazz. It will present carefully curated musical playlists focusing on particular themes along with occasional excerpts from his interviews with the musicians themselves. The radio show will also celebrate the works of great jazz composers, instrumentalists and singers, as well as the central role played by the Great American Songbook in enriching the jazz repertoire.
“Jazz is a joyous sound,“ says Hecht. “No other music so honors individual expression and freedom, nor swings so much! As Duke Ellington once observed, ‘There are two kinds of music: good music and the other kind.’ My show is about the good kind!” Back home in Marin, Hecht recently interviewed pianist Denny Zeitlin and talked about Zeitlin’s remarkable dual careers as practicing psychiatrist and world-class jazz pianist.
This interview and many others will be interwoven with musical examples and heard on ‘The Joys of Jazz.’ – every Friday at 4 and 8 pm and again on Sunday at 8pm. Listeners in Southern Marin can tune in to 1610AM; in Central San Rafael to 1710AM, or anywhere via the station’s new audio stream at www.radiosausalito.org.

Radio Sausalito Volunteers Featured in Houseboat Newsletter!
Radio Sausalito volunteers Court Mast, Peter Huson and Larry Clinton were featured in the Floating Homes newsletter sent out today. The text is below. Here’s a link to the full newsletter: http://www.floatinghomes.org/FT/2013/Newsletter_2013_5.pdf
Jazz Radio Lures Floating Home Owners
by Court Mast
Peter Huson loves jazz music, and boasts a jazz re- cord collection going back decades. Larry Clinton owns and manages the rights to his father’s Big Band jazz compositions. Court Mast writes jazz pieces and produced a jazz CD with a Sausalito theme. And now, all three floating home owners have found a new way to touch their jazz roots, but in a slightly tangential fashion. They volunteer at Sausalito’s jazz radio sta- tion, Radio Sausalito.
Peter’s handle is “The Tide Guy,” on a show called Larry Clinton, Peter Huson and Court Mast in the Radio Sausalito
Tide Tones. He reads the times and heights of today’s studio. Photo by Marling Mast tides in Sausalito along with a bit of trivia – “On this day in 1917, Ella Fitzgerald was born.” Larry produces and hosts Sausalito’s Secret History, a specialty show of scintillating segments from Sausalito’s past, such as Underwater Streets (those empty spaces on our docks) and Alcatraz Indians (they met in 1969 at the No Name Bar before starting their occupation of the island). Court is the station’s Webmaster, responsible for the sparkling new website and the new Internet Stream.
The station’s tiny studio is tucked in a private home above downtown Sausalito, and its 100-milliwatt signal on 1610 AM can barely be heard while driving along Bridgeway. But since September 1st, it’s been streaming online in full stereo at (www.RadioSausalito.org). So Listen Up, World!
Radio Sausalito is looking for more volunteers and show hosts, especially those with an interest in jazz music and Marin issues. You don’t need to be a floating home owner to volunteer, but we all know where the best talent comes from.

A Different Slant 129: To Pier or Not to Pier?
Host John Flavin lays out the pro’s and con’s of the proposed fishing pier to be built at the site of the old one just to the south of the Trident restaurant.
