Jazz History in our Midst
This week, we look at that history looking forward, to the “now” and to a century ago. Reflections of all of that scope are a part of what WZUM is all about. That includes connections on this weeks program between Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and Earl “Fatha” Hines. We even have a story about Steve Turre - the trombonist for Saturday Night Live - and his respect for Pittsburgh’s Mr. Trombone, Harold Betters.
