Jazz is a conversation — and that’s what The Late Set is all about. Nate Chinen and Josh Jackson convene every two weeks for straight talk and in-depth interviews with featured guests. Just like a hang at the end of the gig, in the back of the club, it’s direct, unfiltered and illuminating, revealing the music and its culture in a deeper light.

  1. Patternmaster, with Mark Turner

    Patternmaster, with Mark Turner

    Every jazz musician strives to establish a voice. Some go further — creating a language all their own. Mark Turner is one of those artists: a tenor saxophonist with a vocabulary and syntax so personal that he’s recognizable within a single phrase. Now 60, Turner stands as a modern master — an artist whose influence on the jazz tradition can hardly be overstated. In this episode, we’re thrilled to talk with Turner about his new ECM quartet album, Patternmaster, along with some of the speculative fiction — and actual music — that inspired it. We also touch on his creative habits, the shifting parameters of the jazz tradition, and the way he and his peers have left their mark (no pun intended) on the creative landscape.

    Radio Repost: New Pinnacle, with Brandee Younger

    Tonight at 8 p.m., WRTI will air the latest episode of The Late Set Radio Hour featuring harpist, composer and bandleader Brandee Younger. To get you ready for the broadcast, we’re (re)sharing our original May 2025 podcast interview with Brandee, taped live before a sold-out Solar Myth show presented by Ars Nova Workshop. The broadcast features music spanning her 2025 release Gadabout Season and her re-imagining of Dorothy Ashby’s work on Brand New Life. Younger reflects on using the studio as a creative tool and embracing the harp’s full expressive range — from glissandos to groove. Host Nicole Sweeney guides us through Brandee’s profound connection to Alice Coltrane, including performing on Coltrane’s harp and collaborating with Ravi Coltrane. The episode also spotlights fellow harpist Ashley Jackson, who speaks about the spiritual resonance of Younger’s music and how these works are entering the modern harp canon.

    Travel the Spaceways, with Marcus J. Moore

    Search high and low, in this world and beyond, and you won’t ever find another Sun Ra. So we’re excited about the broadcast premiere of Sun Ra: Do the Impossible, a PBS American Masters documentary that sheds new light on the inexhaustibly inventive composer-bandleader, poet-philosopher, and adopted Philadelphian. Our own Nate Chinen is a commentator in the film — and so is our guest this episode, the author and critic Marcus J. Moore, who brings a multilayered appreciation of Sun Ra’s artistry to our conversation. Space is the Place! Chapters: 00:00 … Intro 02:33 … Interview Marcus J.

  4. Grammys Recap / Dezron Douglas

    Grammys Recap / Dezron Douglas

    How do we feel about this year’s Grammy Awards? That’s our starting point for this episode, assessing the ins and outs of “Music’s Biggest Night.” Then it’s on to the main event: a deep-in-the-groove conversation with Dezron Douglas. Josh sat down with the tireless bassist and bandleader onstage before a recent quartet show at Solar Myth, where they premiered a batch of exciting new music. We’ll even hear a taste of that music, as we consider Douglas as a scene stalwart and community builder — and (let’s just put it out there) a shoo-in for future Grammy glory.

    Radio Repost: Michael Mayo's jazz vocals take flight

    When the stars align for the 68th Grammy Awards on Feb. 1, the world's attention will mostly fall on the likes of Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, and KATSEYE. But there's a sporting chance that good fortune will fall on Michael Mayo, who's in the running for two awards: Best Jazz Performance, for his suavely assured take on “Four,” and Best Jazz Vocal Album, for his second solo release, Fly. Both nominations confirm what some of us have known for a while now: Mayo is major talent, one of the most creative and commanding singers now working in the realm of improvised music. This interview was originally featured in a 2024 episode of The Late Set podcast, co-hosted by Greg Bryant and Nate Chinen.

  6. Four Freedoms, with Dave Douglas

    Four Freedoms, with Dave Douglas

    Freedom and form have always found active equilibrium in the music of Dave Douglas. A trumpeter, composer and bandleader of conscientious creativity, he returns with a new release, Four Freedoms, showcasing his quartet: Marta Warelis on piano, Nick Dunston on bass and Joey Baron on drums. The album draws inspiration from President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1941 address outlining what he described as four essential human freedoms. It’s a proposition worth revisiting at this moment — for a number of reasons.

    Pass It Down, with Terell Stafford

    Terell Stafford upholds a radically holistic ideal as a jazz educator. At Temple University, where he serves as Director of Jazz Studies and Chair of Instrumental Studies in the Boyer College of Music, he focuses not only on producing first-rate musicians but also on cultivating a community of listeners and advocates. To hear him tell it, Stafford — a leading trumpeter, bandleader and administrator — is incorporating lessons learned from some of his own mentors, including Jimmy Heath. In all respects, his insights on jazz education are inspiring, with implications far beyond the classroom. As you’ll hear in this episode, they feel right on time.

    Radio Repost: Comfort and Joy with Samara Joy and Gregory Porter

    Happy Holidays from The Late Set! We’re re-running our episode featuring jazz vocalists Gregory Porter and Samara Joy. The interview comes from a The Late Set podcast called Comfort and Joy, from 2023. At the time, Christmas Wish and A Joyful Holiday had both just dropped. Former Evening Jazz host and Late Set co-host Greg Bryant and Nate Chinen connected virtually with the two artists, and were struck by their warm camaraderie — rooted in a shared foundation and a common commitment to singing their truth. You can also watch our video interview with Samara Joy, her father Antonio McLendon, and their late grandfather Elder Goldwire McLendon here: https://youtu.be/gByTUXyJJk0 Want to support The Late Set?
