Jazz90.1 Celebrates Black History Month

In celebration of Black History Month 2012, Jazz90.1 will honor a different African-American jazz musician Monday through Friday during the month of February. A biographical vignette will be broadcast four times each day Monday through Friday at 7:40 a.m. 12:40, 4:40, and 8:40 p.m. Vignettes will be repeated during weekend jazz programming. Each vignette will be followed by a selection of that artist’s music. The artists selected represent a variety of instruments, ages, and levels of achievement, but each has a story to tell and each has contributed significantly to the growth and enhancement of jazz music. Jazz90.1 hopes you, the listener will take this opportunity to learn more about and recognize the significant contributions of, individual African-American jazz musicians and that this will make jazz that much more enjoyable.
