Bob Dorough Sunday Profiles
Sid Gribetz presents a tribute to pianist, vocalist and songwriter Bob Dorough for five hours this Sunday December 17, 2023 on “Jazz Profiles” from 2-7 PM on WKCR radio. Dorough encompasses a wide arc of American music. He is rooted in the Americana of a Hoagy Carmichael or Johnny Mercer, energized under the counter-cultural fervor and swell of the bebop jazz revolution, a witty and literate songwriter of sophisticated pieces, a cultural icon of children’s songs, and a vivid interpreter of the American popular songbook with a unique personal vision.
