Thanks for posting this.

I am always looking for stations that broadcast jazz, big band etc.

The local public radio station here in the Boston area wiped out most of the jazz programs not too long ago. A real shame.

Its the only reason I ever tune in.

The MIT radio station WMBR has as wide a range of musical programs as you can imagine. THey are online of course.

Tonight at 6:00 to 8:00 is Captain Al’s program which is all Motown. Lots of good stuff on that station.

I first heard this show as a child in the 1970’s. I’ve enjoyed it a lot for entertainment as well as the historical knowledge of the music that’s shared including Chuck’s extensive files of live interviews with the musicians and singers of the “Swing Era”.

“Swingin’ Years” was dropped from the schedule of KJAZ in Long Beach, CA a few years back and I just found its new location a few months back.

Do you get the Riverwalk Jazz program on any of your NPR stations?
