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, Johnson features Clark Terry with the Oscar Peterson Trio singing “Mumbles.”
“The Oscar Peterson Trio made a recording with the great trumpet player by the name of Clark Terry. But Clark wasn’t playing trumpet on this one; he was simply singing the blues in his own way. He was just having fun with it,” said Johnson.
Catch H’s “Blues Classics” show every Friday night at 10 p.m. and again on “Jazz Classics” every Saturday night starting at 8 p.m. on WABE.
