Timeless Jazz Playlists


Ken Dryden

Recommended Posts

Timeless Jazz webcasts on Sunday from 3 to 5 pm ET at wutc.org. There is a second feed on the HD-2 station the following Wednesday from 10 am to 12 noon ET. No podcasts are available yet, though I have all the shows from this year downloaded to a portable hard drive.

I am going to try to post playlists in advance for Timeless Jazz on a more regular basis.

I think that the Fresh Air In Concert and The 1986 Floating Jazz Festival CDs are likely the hardest to find.

The first was only offered as a public radio premium in the early 1990s, back when Fresh Air focused on covering the arts a lot more than becoming just another news magazine, a huge mistake. 

The Floating Jazz Festival CD was a bonus if you bought the entire Chiaroscuro catalog at one time. I already owned most of it and Hank O'Neal generously sent me this CD. I don't think it was ever sold separately.
