Jazz Spectrum - Saturday
Saturdays 8 p.m. - 12 a.m.
Hosted by Fritz Byers, Jazz Spectrum is a blend of new releases and timeless classics, familiar names and emerging artists. And the familiar weekly feature – The Song of the Week – will continue to occupy two sets, beginning at 10 p.m. E.T. In this interlude, we present a variety of versions of a single song from the jazz repertoire as a way of highlighting the infinite variety of approaches to the materials of jazz.
