Swing is in the Air has been heard on the Ottawa airwaves for over 20 years. Prior to this, I hosted jazz programmes on French radio station CIMF-FM (1976 to 1983). Swing is in the Air began as a big band swing show and continues to feature the music of the swing era quite frequently. Since 1990, the show's format has expanded to offer the listener a wider spectrum of jazz, including traditional, blues, bop, latin as well as contemporary jazz. I like to give the show's listeners a chance to appear on the show and play their own favourites. Local musicians have often participated in promoting concerts or talking about recent cd releases.
