Renowned bassist Richard Davis hosts a series of informal discussion/performance sessions designed to introduce students, teachers, and the community to jazz music, its history and pioneers, and its contributions to American life and culture.

Davis, a mainstay of the New York jazz scene for 23 years and a member of the music faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, incorporates curriculum areas such as social studies, arts and humanities, and African-American studies into his discussions. He intersperses lecture segments with questions from the KET viewing audience, samples of work by jazz masters, and demonstrations of key jazz elements on his string bass.

The target audience for this series includes teachers and students in high schools and colleges, band booster clubs, local jazz societies and artists, performing arts sponsors, and others with an interest in jazz.

The first four programs in this series aired as live teleconferences during the 1997/98 school year. Two more programs were produced in 1998/99.
