Clark Terry is featured in the first
episode of PBS'

After the conclusion of the intiial thirteen-week run, it looks like the PBS Legends of Jazz series is getting another airing on St. Louis' public television station KETC.

The first episode of the series, 'The Golden Horns," is scheduled to be rerun on Channel 9 at 10:30 p.m. next Friday, July 14, with the other 12 episodes presumably following in subsequent weeks in same time slot. St. Louis native Clark Terry is one of the trumpeters featured in the series premiere, along with Roy Hargrove and Chris Botti. The Legends of Jazz episodes are also rerun multiple times during the week on KETC's additional digital channels that are available on some local cable and satellite systems. Check your program guide for details.

Also on local public TV, next week's epsiode of Soundstage will showcase funk/jazz/noise bassist Bill Laswell, an unusual choice for a series that mostly focuses on rock and pop performers. Laswell's episode, which also features bassist Bootsy Collins, guitarist Buckethead and Laswell's group Material, will air in St. Louis on KETC Channel 9 at midnight on Sunday, July 16 (or, if you prefer, 12:00 a.m. Monday, July 17).
