We’re celebrating Jazz Appreciation Month with a look back to jazz greats from the early 1900s thru the 1950s. We’ll be revisiting the formative years of jazz in America from its birth in New Orleans, to Kansas City, Chicago and Harlem. And we’ll be listening to the pioneers who established jazz as the original American musical art form.
That’s Saturday, April 27th, at 8pm, only on Indiana Public Radio.
Last Saturday of the month
from 8-10pm.
