From among the many, the best of the new jazz releases have been chosen for play at WBGU-FM. At least I’d like to think so. (I did the choosing.) Decide for yourself. Tune in Jazz Unlimited from 9 a.m.-noon Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. You’ll find a listing of those releases and our latest chart inside.
Thanks for listening.
