Jazz on internet radio

[ghost of miles]

Not sure if we've had this topic yet on the board, but I wanted to recommend WGBH out of Boston. I listen to it frequently during my breaks at work each night; if some of you remember SteveBop (Steve Schwarz) from the Blue Note board, this is his home station. Lotsa jazz, pretty much from 7 in the evening till five in the morning--seems to be a good mix of classic/historical and modern, leaning towards straightahead much of the time. Here's a link to their site and webcast:

WGBH

Right now Eric Jackson's got Steve Lacy & Danilo Perez on as his guests.

I'd vote for a couple of stations in my area. One is WKCR

It's not a full time jazz station but they have jazz from 6-930 am est, weekdays, highlighted by Phil Schapp's Bird show from 820-930. Then they have jazz from 12-3 and 6-9 pm weekdays. There's also a swing show from 6-9 pm on Saturday and a show just spotlighting one artist from 2-6 on Sundays.

Another is WBGO, which is based in NJ and is very popular nationally. They have a good mix.

Thanks for the links, Brad. Michael Bourne, one of the jazz programmers at WBGO, actually came from WFIU, the Bloomington, Indiana NPR affiliate where I now work part-time. He dj'd here from 1972 to 1984.
