Jazz Spectrum - Friday

Fridays at 8 p.m. - 12 a.m.

Hosted by Fritz Byers, “Jazz Spectrum – Friday” includes vignettes about the artists, commentary about the influences that led to the recording, and an occasional brief explication of the significance of the recording and the artists in the overall sweep of jazz history.   

The hour beginning at 10 p.m. E.T. will be dedicated to a particular theme – a single recording, a particular musician, a specific instrument, or perhaps a selection of recordings from a single year.
