Jazz on Radio (internet)

[Juan Cruz]

Someone I admire, Phil Schaap, asked me (us) to spread the word regarding 72 hours of commercial free birthday celebrations for Lester "Prez" Young and Charles (Bird) Parker this weekend (8/27-28) beginning 12am Sat. (midnight Friday night).

Where: Wkcr 89.9 NYC

Phil Schaap is one of the world's great experts re: jazz. He lectures at length between long sets (but he is only one DJ... and, in fact, his almost addictive arcana is amusing).

Check it out if you like jazz - and if you don't... what's up with THAT?

I would agree. There's a few of us out here, Juan. Thanks for the heads up. Oenophile, are you listening?????

I'm listening here on Sunday a.m. on his swing session - - focusing on John Hammond. Great stuff. I LOVE jazz, but swing-era music is my absolute favorite. I'm in heaven.
