In Our Headphones7 Loka 2024

John Gilbreath: Shabaka, Afrocop, Wayne Shorter

Ahead of the 36th Annual Earshot Jazz Festival in Seattle, we chat with John Gilbreath, long-time host of KEXP’s Jazz Theatre. He spotlights a few of the artists playing – offering everything from an R&B-infused song to a meditative flute-led track – and closes out his set with a classic from the great “Ambassador of Jazz” and the story of how he fell in love with radio. The Earshot Jazz Festival runs from October 17th through November 3rd in various venues throughout Seattle.

Our Associate Music Director Alex Ruder ends the episode with not one, but two tracks from a new Brussels-based group that he has on loop.

Shabaka - “Breathing”
Afrocop - “Get In, Let’s Ride”
Wayne Shorter - “Footprints (Live)”
Dizzy Gillespie - “Theme from The Cool World”
Another Dancer - “How to, Slow" + "You Know Where I Start"

Listen to the full songs on KEXP's "In Our Headphones 2024" playlist on Spotify or the “What's In Our Headphones” playlist on YouTube.

Listen to John Gilbreath every other Monday from 1-3am PT, or anytime on the 2-week archive, at KEXP.org or the KEXP App.
