Phil Schaap-recipient of the 2021 A.B. Spellman NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship for Jazz Advocacy-has an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz music and history, and it has served him well: outside of hosting jazz programs on Columbia University’s WKCR station in New York since 1970 (a labor of love as he is not paid), he has won six Grammy Awards for his liner notes, audio engineering, and production. In addition, he became curator at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City where he created the Swing University educational program, which continues to offer public jazz listening and appreciation classes with the goal of increasing and cultivating audiences for the music.

It's 2024, I'm listening to Phil's archived Bix Beiderbecke Birthday Broadcast on WKCR and I felt the urge to pay my respects to this great man who has been a constant source of enlightenment over the years with his knowledge, wisdom, passion, humility and charisma. Thank you Phil Schaap, indefatigable jazz crusader, you will never be forgotten.

RIP Phil. You were a musical father to me and so many others. Love and THX.

They say "'Every time an old man dies, it is as if a library has burned down'. Phil Schaap was like 100 libraries.

You are 100% correct.

Amen. He was one extraordinary person that is genuinely irreplaceable. He had knowledge that exists nowhere else. He conducted a college course with his shows, you were getting an education literally listening to his programs. He'll be terribly missed.

Although I've listened to Phil for years on 89.9, I didn't know much about him - just that he had a fondness for jazz, particularly Charlie Parker, and also had a tendency to go on and on...and on. I was shocked to look him up this week and discover that he passed recently. I'm uncharacteristically saddened by this. Rest in Peace Phil, and may your booming, droning, and unmatched lectures live on in the airwaves forever - to entice new listeners to the music that you, and we enjoy. - Adam

Going to miss you Phil. Since the seventies you were always there for us! We learned alot! Your love for America's only original art form will always be deeply appreciated.

RIP Phil. You pissed me off sometimes with the verbiage but over 30 years you gave me a jazz education I'd never have gotten otherwise. You were one of a kind.

RIP, Phil. Many of us will miss you and your brilliance. I hope WKCR will preserve all your archived broadcasts for jazz historians. So much great content there.

Phil will always be an inspiration to anyone who wants to learn about the music by listening to it. His endless energy for a particular project was evident in the incredible results of that project. His incredible knowledge always made his broadcasts so much fun. NYC radio will never be the same. Thanks Phil for keeping the flame on as long as you could!

How many weekday mornings I would drive to work listening intently to his erudite, insanely rabbitholish annotations and footnotes during his BirdFlight. And as to some people being bothered by his verbiage and overly detailed deconstruction and analysis of Parker's music, I would say NO, it was just the right amount; after all, it takes an insightful mind to decode another. Phil was first a good man, then a hell of a guy, a perfect gentleman, a patient knowledgeable teacher, a loving caring mentor, and a consummate professional. Having been a bebop buff all my life, I always liked thinking to myself that BirdFlight had been made just for me. How can so much knowledge have been imparted for free!!! I will miss this mensch of menschen for the world became a bit more dislocated with his passing.
