From the traditional jazz of Louis Armstrong to the best in today's new jazz from young artists like Eldar Djangirov, from swinging singers to cooking Latin jazz, with plenty of bebop and ballads to boot, Jazz in the Night brings you a wide array of great jazz every Monday through Friday evening from 9 to midnight (10 to midnight on Wednesdays) with your host Bob McWilliams. Every week, there's a feature CD that you'll have a chance to win, and every Wednesday from 10 to 11 p.m., Bob presents four of the best new discs on the "New Release Spotlight." And your requests are more than welcome.
