This is Fresh Air. Here on the show, we memorialize jazz composer Benny Golson and drummer Roy Haynes. Jazz historian Kevin Whitehead remembers a few more musicians who passed in 2024. For some of them, Kevin says, jazz was only part of the music they made, such as the sometimes smoothly romantic rhythm and blues saxophonist David Sanborn. ¦

Kevin Whitehead is the author of Play the Way You Feel, The Essential Guide to Jazz Stories on Film, Why Jazz, and New Dutch Swing, which has just been reissued. On Monday's show, we'll hear Terry's interview with comedian Nikki Glaser from earlier this year. Known for telling scathing jokes at celebrity roasts, Glaser will host the Golden Globes on January 5th. I hope you can join us.

But if you've never given to public media before or not in a while, please consider it now, because supporting public radio is a great way to show what matters to you. You want to stay informed about what's going on in your community and around the world.
