As a teenager, Pete Fallico (pictured)wanted nothing more than to become a full time disc jockey. His dad wanted him to become an educator instead. Studying the human voice in college seemed a happy medium and a thirty-six year career as a speech therapist ensued. Helping people communicate during the day while playing jazz recordings at night on a local radio station soon became a comfortable compromise.
Pete Fallico has been programming Jazz Radio in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas since 1975. His efforts have been heard on KKUP, KPEN, KUSP and KCSM. His show was initially called ‘Doodlin’ (after the Horace Silver classic) but it soon evolved into ‘The Doodlin’ Lounge’ where fantasy prevailed and emphasis was placed on Blue Note recording artists and Hard Bop grooves. These shows are now being podcast from Pete’s web site: www.doodlinlounge.com
Pete has made a concerted effort through the years to make friends with the greatest Jazz Organists of our time and showcase their music whenever possible. Today, as a programmer on KCSM, Pete controls these organ-urges in order to provide his listeners with a more generic presentation of American Classical Music. The theme, however, is always on the blue side.
Listen to Pete every Tuesday night/Wednesday morning from 10pm-2am on Evening Jazz.

7/28 So What About Eddie Jefferson?Eddie Jefferson (pictured) didn’t have a great voice, but he was a great jazz singer. Twisting lyrics through well-known Jazz instrumentals, he created songs and a style all his own, transforming (James) Moody’s Mood for Love, Lester Young’s Paper Moon into Lester’s Trip to the Moon, and an infamous Miles track to Miles Davis Walked Off the Stage. Jefferson died tragically in 1979. Vocalists Carla Cook and Allan Harris join pianist Eric Reed to honor the pioneer of vocalese.
A legend among masters, Ahmad Jamal’s (pictured) career has spanned half a century. Miles Davis once asked his own pianist Wynton Kelly to “sound more like Ahmad Jamal. Jamal brings his deft touch and perfect balance to the House of Swing to create space all his own. With his trio, Jamal leads his signature Poinciana, Jimmy Heath’s Mellow Drama and his new composition Papillon. And of course more! We are delighted to welcome him to our stage.
Pictured: eddie Jefferson PerforminG "tranes' blues" at the Jazz showcase in chicaGo on may 6th 1979. three days before his life ended.
Billie Holiday (pictured) was the consummate jazz singer. She could take any song and make it her own. She could re-work a melody, sing a lyric with impeccable diction, add her unique phrasing and embrace it with the raw emotional intensity of her life experience. All of the great bandleaders loved Lady Day: Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw. Billie's personal battles are legendary—with a racist society, with men, with drugs—and it was that pain that fueled her songs. But she worked at her craft, found her own voice, and inspired countless singers and musicians. This show focuses on Billie's music and its impact on jazz.
Wes Montgomery (pictured) created the first new sound on jazz guitar since Charlie Christian revolutionized the instrument in the late '30s. His innovations such as his celebrated octaves, and his style of playing with his thumb rather than a pick continue to have an influence today. Wes also became a popular musician, whose later recordings sold hundreds of thousands of copies.
