WABE’s H. Johnson has been a fixture on our station since 1978. As host of both “Blues Classics” and “Jazz Classics,” H. continually educates and entertains WABE listeners every Friday and Saturday night. Now, H. joins “City Lights” every other Friday to share a bit from his breadth of jazz knowledge.
The segment, “H. Johnson’s Jazz Moment,” explores selections from the best of H.’s music collection along with tidbits from history, personal reflections, and H.’s thoughts on the evergreen resonance of jazz.
This Friday’s spotlight is on Sam Most, a flautist, clarinetist, saxophonist and pianist from Atlantic City, New Jersey. Especially sparkling on flute, Most got his start as a teen, right off the bat performing in bands like those of Tommy Dorsey and Don Redman. Later, he’d appear with Herbie Mann, Teddy Wilson, Buddy Rich and many others.
