Jazz After Hours is a late night jazz radio show
hosted by Jim Wilke heard Friday and Saturday nights across the U.S. and parts of Canada since 1984. Like the last set at a jazz club, the mood is mellow but not without surprises. New and well-established jazz artists drop in for a chat, and the music ranges from latest releases to jazz classics. There's news of tours, festivals and clubs - the best places to hear live jazz.
Jim's easy-going presentation has won the
praise of jazz stars Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Brown, Max Roach,
Joe Henderson, Milt Jackson, Joshua Redman, Billy Taylor, Maria Schneider and
many others who have been guests on Jazz After Hours.
The program is regularly named one of the top four national jazz radio
programs by the JazzTimes Readers Poll (thanks JT readers!) and Jim has been nominated numerous times
for the Willis Conover/Marian McPartland Award for Excellence
in Jazz Broadcasting by the Jazz
Journalists Association.
The show is produced at Hatchcover Productions in Seattle
and distributed by Public
Radio International from Midnight
to 7 a.m. Eastern Time each weekend. It also reaches an international audience
via many US stations who also stream the program to the internet.
