On a recent trip to Las Vegas we were listening to the radio on FM and lo and behold, there was some great jazz being played! I decided to write some information here for all the Southern California patrons who visit Las Vegas a time or two each year. This fine station has straight ahead jazz 24-hours a day, during the week (Mon-Fri). On weekends they play a little more of an eclectic mix of Latin Jazz, Smooth Jazz, some Reggae, Blues, Folk and Hawaiian. They have hooked up with NPR (National Public Radio) and present a couple of special shows such as Dee Dee Bridgewater’s Jazzset and Marion McPartland’s Piano Jazz. They carry some other sophisticated jazz shows like Listen Here, Jazz on the Side, Jazz at Lincoln Center along with Bob Parlocha’s show after 10 pm weekdays. |

"Javon adds a modern twist to the music we grew up with. Everybody get ready for a funky good time." - Branford Marsalis Javon Jackson and Benny Green perform at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 3rd through Saturday, October 6th with sets at 7:00 and 9:00. Javon helps to keep the legacy of Art Blakey and hard bop alive. Jackson was with the last version of the Jazz Messengers (1987-1990). His quartet appearance at the Jazz Bakery, featuring Benny Green on piano, Corcoran Holt on Bass and the lengendary Al Foster on drums.
Javon Jackson was born in Carthage, Missouri and raised in Denver, Colorado. Sonny Stitt's music inspired Javon to pick up saxophone at a young age. Jackson began working professionally in local jazz clubs at age 16, playing with former Max Roach Quintet pianist Billy Wallace. During this time, Javon met and was befriended by Branford Marsalis, who encouraged Javon to attend the Berklee School of Music. Two of Javon's instructors at Berklee were saxophonist Billy Pierce and pianist Donald Brown, two former members of Art Blakey's legendary Jazz Messengers. One of the seminal groups of the hard bop movement of the 50's and 60's, the Messengers provided a training ground for the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, and Javon's early mentor, Branford Marsalis. |
