Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Thursday, August 15, 2013
Ahead on this edition of Ozarks: when you think of fertile ground for jazz you may think of New Orleans, Europe, New York City…but, Azerbaijan? Amina Figarova grew up listening to jazz in her childhood home in Baku, Azerbaijan. She’s released a dozen albums and will close the KUAF Summer Jazz Concert Series this weekend. We'll hear from her later on the show. Plus…that extra "A" in Lake Atalanta in Rogers. Why the lake is called that isexplained in the latest edition of our series "What's in a Name?" And a wilderness water trail inside the Fort Smith city limits.
For the latest installment in our series about locally-made things, we travel to Avoca to meet one of the two brothers responsible for Two Brothers Canoe, Inc.
Auditions for the SoNA chorale singers, a panel discussion on racial diversity, the annual Mule Jump at Pea Ridge and more in this morning's notes.
We step inside Son's Chapel near Goshen to find that the women's group that was started over 90 years ago to raise funds for construction, is still hard at work maintaining the building.
Here are our clips devoted to quiet, whispering and all manners of silence for our Sunday montage: 1. Bjork sings It's Oh So Quiet. 2. Marlon Brando, as Superman's father, explains the Fortress of Solitude in Superman II. 3. The Five Satins celebrate in The Still of the Night. 4. The members of The Breakfast Club spend time in a library. 5. Another library: George Peppard is shushed at the New York City Library just before he tells Audrey Hepburn he loves her in Breakfast at Tiffany's. 6. Miles Davis' In a Silent Way. 7. King Arthur tells Dennis the Constitutional Peasant to be quiet in Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. 8. The Ink Spots sign about The Whispering Grass. 9. John Wayne arrives in Ireland in the opening of The Quiet Man. 10. Simon and Garfunkel, of course. Apologies to: John Cage, Bertolt Brecht and every version of Silent Night. Maybe next time.
Becca Martin Brown from Northwest Arkansas Newspapers tells us about one of her favorite restaurants in Goshen.
