Our local stations in Cincinnati have a pretty decent selection of programs to choose from if you want to sample some of the various forms of jazz:
Warm 98 (ugh) actually has a pretty decent jazz program on Saturday nights. It's called Cool Jazz Saturday Night and is available to listen to all week through their website. They play a range, but it's mainly cool jazz.
89.3 WMKV (a great but relatively unknown station located in warm and cheerful Reading) has a number of excellent swing, big band and other jazz programs through the week. Check their website for schedules. Particularly recommended is When Swing Was King -- that would be in the 20's, the Jazz Age.
91.7 WVXU has a piano jazz program on Sunday nights at 11:00 pm preceded by Jazz with OT at 9:00 pm -- highly recommended.
I also recommend BBC3's Jazz programs, which you can listen to using the BBC iPlayer.
Thanks! I was actualy wondering where I could find jazz on the radio.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen the Princess and the Frog? It has examples of New Orleans-style jazz, and it was a good movie.
