In 1987, legendary jazz trombonist and Euphonium performer, Rich Matteson, founded the award winning jazz program at the University of North Florida. During those formative years at UNF, Rich and bassist/radio personality Landon Walker created a weekly jazz radio show on public funded WJCT, which they called the JAZZ CORNER.
Each week, Rich and Landon would get together, play recordings, hang out, and basically give a history of jazz through their eyes and ears.
Somehow, tapes of these 25 year old broadcasts have survived, and through the generosity of the Matteson Foundation, we are proud to present an archive of these historic broadcasts. These broadcasts are a wealth of jazz information, and showcase the incredible knowledge and experience of one of jazz education’s most beloved personalities. There are SO many jazz musicians around the world who were directly affected by Rich Matteson’s persona, devotion, dedication and support, myself included. Now, through these broadcasts, musicians of all generations can experience his personality and incredible knowledge in his own words.
I believe these tapes will prove to be some of the most historic documents in jazz history. The tapes are listed by broadcast date, and the selections played are noted with approximate time logs. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Rich Matteson’s JAZZ CORNER, with Rich and Landon Walker.
