2-Hour Weekly Program of Jazz and American Popular Song
English
Ella, the Duke, MJQ, and other greats -- WFIU's Afterglow has them all.
Afterglow first airedr on WFIU sometime in the late 1970s. Host Dick Bishop took the title of the show and his theme from a Marian McPartland composition; all of the rest?the elegance, the passion, the laidback expertise, the congenial charm, and the delivery with a ?martini moon? quality to it?came from Dick himself.
In addition to his considerable knowledge and love for the jazz and American popular song that he played every Friday evening, Dick also drew on his personal relationships and encounters with many of the performers that he featured.
Since Bishop's retirement in 2005, the show has been hosted by WFIU Jazz Host/Producer David Brent Johnson.
