Moonglow
8:00 p.m. - 10:00 pm., Sunday
“A little conversation and a lot of great jazz.” Jazz aficionados who are used to hearing the best jazz on KMUW will relish this show featuring interviews with internationally known jazz artists and their music. The program will also showcase new jazz releases, including reviews of new CDs. Occasionally, Moonglow will slip into the KMUW archives for a Flashback Friday, featuring the best in retro jazz. Moonglow host, Barry Gaston says, “We intend for the program to be a real jazz lovers’ potpourri, complete with interviews with local and national artists, new music and reviews, and some classic jazz, too.”
