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 accordionist Art Van Damme’s “Here’s That Rainy Day.”
“Art Van Damme, a great accordion player, but he doesn’t get labeled as a jazz accordionist,” H said. “He doesn’t get appreciated by a large member of the jazz audience.”
Catch H.’s Blues Classics show tonight and every Friday beginning at ten, and then return for Jazz Classics every Saturday night beginning at 8, right here on 90.1 WABE.
