Mozart's Attic - Thursday, Jan 8th at 10:00 pm

Benny Goodman

The King of Swing plays Mozart. Benny Goodman, better known as a jazz musician, maintained a lifelong interest in classical music. Here he plays the Clarinet Quintet in A major. Listeners who were watching television thirty-or-so years ago may recognize this as "The Last M*A*S*H Quintet."

Also scheduled are a triple violin concerto of Vivaldi, the Bach Magnificat, music from Rameau and Praetorius, and some songs from Elizabethan England.

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years. He began his association with WFIT in the late '90s as a dumpster diver for office furniture in response to a broadcast plea for a new chair from a frustrated disc jockey. (WFIT has come a long way since.)
