Jazz From Blue Lake airs Monday through Friday starting at 10 p.m EDT and is available the following day on our jazz web stream.
In the first twenty minutes of each hour Jazz From Blue Lake focuses on a particular artist or recording in a segment called "The Jazz Retrospective." In August we celebrate the centennial birthday of Oscar Peterson, hear former Blue Lake camper James Carter, and remember the great multi-instrumentalist Benny Carter, and go sax crazy with features on Wayne Shorter, Branford Marsalis, Lester Young and Charlie Parker. Those are some of the highlights. Here's the list!
