Jazz Saxophonist Lester Young on WNYC's American Music Festival in 1941 | From the WNYC Archives
As part of WNYC's centennial celebration, each week we'll take listeners on a tour of key moments from the WNYC and NYC Municipal archives.
In this rare broadcast from February 15, 1941, the short-lived Lester Young Band plays "Tickle Toe" for WNYC's American Music Festival audience. Joining Young on stage are trumpeter Shad Collins, bassist Nick Fenton, John Collins on guitar and Harold "Doc" West on drums. Announcer Ralph Berton hosted WNYC's Jazz University of the Air, among the first radio shows devoted to jazz recordings and critique.
The American Music Festival aired on WNYC for the next nearly 50 years, bringing jazz, folk and classical Americana to both live audiences and radio listeners.
