Romantic couplings can sometimes lead to musical ones as well.  Throughout jazz history a number of husbands and wives have wedded their art as well as their lives, in many instances producing memorable music—even though the marriages themselves frequently did not endure the pressures of the jazz life’s professional rigors.  “Dearly Beloved:  Husband-and-Wife Teams in Jazz” features the music of June Christy and Bob Cooper, John and Alice Coltrane, Peggy Lee and Dave Barbour, Stanley Turrentine and Shirley Scott, Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln, Elmo and Bertha Hope, and Julie London and Bobby Troup. Hosted by David Brent Johnson.
