Brian Charette's 'You Don't Know Jack!' from Cellar Live

When he was a young musician, making the transition from piano to organ, Brian Charette found himself jamming regularly at Showman’s in Harlem, on an instrument that once belonged to the legendary organ great Jack McDuff. It was an infectious time that Brian never forgot.
With You Don’t Know Jack!, Brian, saxophonist Cory Weeds, guitarist Dave Sikula and drummer John Lee, salute Brother Jack, with some of his compositions, alongside originals, all designed and played so you WILL know Jack!

In jazz radio, great announcers are distinguished by their ability to convey the spontaneity and passion of the music. Gary Walker is such an announcer, and his enthusiasm for this music greets WBGO listeners every morning on Daybreak. He's the winner of the 1996 Gavin Magazine Jazz Radio Personality of the Year Award and the recipient of the 2021 Marian McPartland-Willis Conover Award for Career Achievement in Broadcasting from the Jazz Journalists Association. Gary hosts the morning show each weekday from 8am til noon. And, by his own admission, he's truly having a great time.
