JazzSet

On The Air






 

 

JazzSet brings you music in performance, sweet and hot, every week. With her fine, friendly voice, Grammy and Tony Award-winning host Dee Dee Bridgewater introduces sets from locales like Kennedy Center Jazz in Washington, and festivals from Monterey to Santa Fe to Montreal. JazzSet also features music from smaller venues: clubs, campuses, off-the-highway and neighborhood spots.

JazzSet's recordings capture the legends, today's top bands, and promising new talent. Occasionally, JazzSet dips into the archives and Dee Dee shares a moment that's too good not to share. JazzSet keeps fans and listeners up-to-date with the best live jazz from concerts and festivals around the country and abroad.

JazzSet is the jazz lover's ears and eyes on the world of live music.  It presents today’s artists in exciting, recent performances from stages around the world, taking listeners to Puerto Rico and Cuba, as well as Marciac in the French countryside and across the North American continent from Montreal to Monterey.

Some of the greatest jazz artists performing on the JazzSet stage include Herbie Hancock, Joshua Redman, Nicholas Payton, Joe Williams, Dianne Reeves, Shirley Horn and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band.

Airs: 9 p.m. Saturday on KSTX 89.1 FM
