eat.sleep.jazzWednesday nights are for the listeners. Join host Teddy Dibble as we move beyond the background noise and drop the needle on the albums that define Jazz. Grab a drink and settle in for a deep, uninterrupted listen. Following the format of our spIN Focus series, each session begins with a brief introduction to set the stage before the music takes over.
From the foundational swing of Armstrong to the avant-garde edges of Ayler, we explore essential works and hidden gems in their entirety. No skips, no distractions—just the music as it was meant to be heard on The Listyning Room’s world-class audio system.
For our final February installment, we are honored to welcome Chuck Haddix, legendary voice of KCUR’s The Fish Fry. A renowned Jazz historian, author, and award-winning producer of the album Bird in KC, Chuck joins Teddy to pull back the curtain on the high-energy birth of Bebop. Together, they will spin a treasure chest of 78rpm magic from Dizzy Gillespie and His All-Stars, offering a unique chance to hear these historic performances with the crackle, punch, and soul of the original shellac. Dizzy brings a lineup of legends, including the Bird himself, Charlie Parker. Don’t miss this deep-archive dive into the sounds that changed music forever.Doors 6:30 PM | Intro & Listen at 7:00 PM
