On Stage — Rickey Woodard

The KUVO performance series “On Stage” presents performances with saxophonist Rickey Woodard on Saturday, April 9, at 10 pm, and Monday, April 11 at 7 pm.

Known the world over, for his work with the Ray Charles band and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, in 1992 Rickey found himself on the cozy bandstand in Denver’s El Chapultepec. The quartet included Ken Walker on bass and Nat Yarbrough on drums, with Stephan Karlsson on piano. Homer Brown shared some of the tenor sax work that night, with Rickey on alto. It was a performance for the ages!

Rickey visited the KUVO studios as part of the Summit Jazz All-Stars, with Howard Alden on guitar, Eddie Higgins on piano, Colin Gieg on bass, and Jackie Williams on drums.

“On Stage,” KUVO’s archive program of classic, local broadcast performances, is produced and hosted by Susan Gatschet every Saturday at 10 pm, and Monday at 7 pm. Only on KUVO JAZZ!
