Wilbur Sweatman #1 | Gordon looks into the work of Wilbur Sweatman, a seminal yet fairly obscure character in the history of jazz. Born near Kansas City in the late 19th century, Sweatman quickly became a virtuosic clarinetist capable of playing in a variety of styles including ragtime and classical among others. In the early 20th Century, Sweatman started his career as a Vaudeville performer, a move which would help him gain notariaty but also cause him to be panned by most jazz historians. In 1916, Sweatman makes what Dr. Vernick considers the first jazz recording in history, coming almost a year before Original Dixieland Jazz Band’s famous recording for Victor Records in 1917. | 7/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Raymond Scott | The music of Raymond Scott is hard to define. A graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, Scott’s music incorporates elements of classical music and klezmer while emphasizing a reduced reliance on improvisation. While most of his melodies were based on improvisations, rather than strict compositions, once these melodies were set, they could never be changed. In the late 1930s, Raymond Scott’s music was exposed to a whole new world when it was licensed by Carl Stalling and used in over 120 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons. | 7/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Entertaining and Informative with Real Jazz !
This is a great podcast! It is just the right length with a great balance of information and real jazz. Much of the music comes from Dr. Vernick's own extensive collection of currently unavailable lps. As a casual listener (not scholar) of jazz this continues to be both entertaining and informative. I really enjoy the mix of biography and history. Dr. Vernick places the individual in his/her world but also tells you about the music, how it has evolved, and how it all fits together. I only wish there were more podcasts. If you want to learn about some jazz greats and hear their music this one podcast to subscribe to.
S'Wonderful
This is the hippest program on iTunes. As a Jazz fanatic, I cannot get enough of this show! It is simply delightful to learn about different jazz musicians and the periods of their musical careers. I really liked the one on Max Roach in particular, it very much helped me as a pianist understand what role the drummer plays in jazz and how Max innovated in that respect.
One thing I find crazy is that you haven't yet featured Charlie Parker! I'd love to hear some Bird, Dr. Vernick!

Informative to a fault yet the music was very entertaining and gratifying and left you wanting more.
