IN A MELLOW TONE INTRODUCES LISTENERS TO THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF JAZZ, FROM ITS BEGINNINGS TO THE LATEST INNOVATIONS. EVERY PROGRAM HAS A FOCUS; ON A MUSICIAN, A CITY, A FESTIVAL, AN INSTRUMENT, A RECORD LABEL OR ON RECENT RELEASES. THE HOSTS DRAW ON THEIR LARGE PERSONAL CD AND LP COLLECTIONS TO SUPPLEMENT CKCU'S EXTENSIVE RESOURCES.
