Jazz Alternatives

These shows form the core of WKCR's jazz programming. In them, our rotating cast of DJs presents the entire range of recorded jazz, from its birth in New Orleans through its most avant-garde incarnations on today's scene. Each programmer has his or her own unique approach to the music; on a given day, one may hear anything from an in-depth examination of a focused theme to an eclectic presentation covering a broad mix of styles. Additionally, many DJs are known to invite prominent and up-and-coming artists to our studios to discuss their music and influences; the Wednesday edition of Jazz Alternatives, the 'Musician's Show', is reserved for this purpose.
