PITTSBURGH JAZZ STATION NATION WIDE!

It's WZUM in Pittsburgh. We don't live in Pittsburgh, but hubby and I were excited to discover it on our Wi Fi radio, where it streams live 24 hours a day. If you go to the online site below, you can click on the "listen live" button at the top of the page to get a sampling of what's offered:

They're pretty good! They recently did an all-day fest to Charlie Parker to celebrate his August 29th birthday:

I love radio, as I'm going about my daily chores, and like to intersperse stimulating talk with the sounds of a soothing jazz channel. This one's definitely worth a listen, on whatever device you have.

If you have any of the Amazon Echo devices, there are thousands of jazz radio stations from around the world in the skills section in the iOS Alexa.app as well as the OS web Alexa.app.

I will be sure to check this out. Always up to enjoy some classic jazz, especially Art Tatum.

Thank you for the info. I will definitely check out the site. Loved the picture of "The Point" in Pittsburgh. I spent 40 years in the area....but moved East for family.
Miss it everyday.

Good to know thanks so much for the information. ALeo a good one comes out of the College of Dupage from a suburb of Chicago: WDCB . It streams at WDCB.org. Since the pandemic they have also gone live for jazz shows from clubs in the Chicago area...no audiences just giving the musicians an occasional gig.

This is my favorite station, all week, really ... Saturday mornings and afternoon ... I start at 10:00 a.m., with When Jazz was King ... then on through the afternoon with Old Time Radio (Those Were The Days) ... here's the schedule:

Thanks so for sharing the WDCB schedule. I, too, love the station. Always tuned to it in the car and often listen to it around the house. Have been to a couple of COD jazz concerts, too. Glad you're enjoying the station, also
