Phil Schaap has hosted this award-winning show for over thirty years. He offers thematic presentations of jazz from the first half of the twentieth century, from the earliest records of the 'teens through the end of the swing era in the mid-forties. Phil takes pains to find the best sound sources, often the rarest, in order to present the music in its highest quality.
