Monday Morning Jazz is mainly mainstream jazz from the 1940's to the 1990's, including Latin jazz but excluding avant garde (free jazz), fusion and "smooth" jazz. It presents a wide variety of artists from new releases and from the extensive station jazz library in a balanced mix of trios, quartets, combos, big bands, and vocals. Music of well-known artists appearing locally and artists whose birthdays fall on the show date is sometimes featured. Requests are welcome and are usually played during the last half of the program. The host is a jazz musician who plays in several local bands.
