H. Johnson shares jazz trumpeter Chet Baker singing 'My Funny Valentine'
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.
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 his thoughts on the evergreen resonance of jazz.
In this segment, H. Johnson featured Chet Baker’s “My Funny Valentine.”
“If you’re a Jazz fan and you don’t know about Chet Baker’s ‘My Funny Valentine,’ then you’re not really a Jazz fan,” H said. “Well, maybe you’ll become one after hearing Chet, especially those of you who are hearing him for the first time.”
Catch H.’s Blues Classics show tonight and every Friday beginning at ten, and do return for Jazz Classics every Saturday night beginning at 8, right here on 90.1 WABE.
