Swingin’ the shillelagh on the Sunday Morning Jazz Show

Sun, Mar 16, 2025

Join jazz DJ Ken Hohman as he pushes his luck on St. Patrick’s Day weekend. While Church Hill echoes with the melodies of the Emerald Isle, I’ll be treating you to a master class in jazz with underappreciated jazz gems, the latest from the bravest improvisors in the genre and tastefully selected tunes with green tones.

Plus, I’ll be giving away two free tickets to the screening of the new Ornette Coleman documentary Ornette: Made in America, part of the legendary James River Film Festival. More info here: Ornette: Made in America Tickets, Fri, Mar 21, 2025 at 9:00 PM | Eventbrite.

How well do you know Ornette? Whomsoever can call in and answer my carefully crafted quiz question correctly will win the two tickets. There, I’ve thrown down the shillelagh. Ready to try your luck?
