The program will feature classic jazz, current jazz that is in the tradition of classic jazz, jazz fusion, and music by local artists covering all forms of jazz.? We do this in three hour long segments: 1: Classic jazz; 2: Recent jazz that is in the tradition; and 3: Jazz musicians who had birthdays during the week (August 11-16). During this week's classic jazz segment, we are paying homage to the recently transitioned Sheila Jordan.

My show is intended to be an "exploration" of the various flavors of jazz from the past, present, and future of the music.
