 The Jazz Continuum (Saturdays, 6-8pm): What’s with This?! Hosted by David Brown This week on the Jazz Continuum What’s with This: The Jazz Edition. I’m not so good at buying gifts, so to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary, I'm making a radio “mix tape” for the wife. In 1995 I made her a tape called What’s with This?! Tonight, I update the mix with an evening of good feelin’ hard bop, soul and funky sounds to bring a spring to your step, a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip. Join us!
The Jazz Continuum - Old, new, in, out...wherever the music takes us. Each week, we will explore the elements of Jazz from a historical perspective. |

 The Jazz Continuum (Saturdays, 6-8pm): 70’s Jazz Nite
The first jazz I experienced as a kid in the 1970s was in my mom’ s red Buick through the speaker in the center of the back seat. My first jazz song, Chuck Mangione’s FM mega hit “Feel So Good.” Note to self at the time: “This is not for me.” Tonight we visit some of the great Jazz of the 1970’s that I missed due to a bad first impression. Tune in to The Jazz Continuum, hosted by David Brown.
