#90.9

The true inspiration for this blog, as told by the blog's description, is the area's singular late-night radio jazz program. 90.9 WRCJ hosts, from 7 until the early morning, an "everything goes" jazz show. Some old classics, newer underground composers, and even some skat construct the lineup.

The earlier portion of the show is hosted by the smooth talking Tony Mowod. The man who says very little in a super deep voice gives a perfect vibe to the jazz songs that follow. The later weekday host, Bob Parlocha, is a jazz know-it-all. This man, between songs, covers a little bit of the history of the band while describing its key members.

The music is great and I can honestly say I listen to the program every single night for at least 40 minutes to an hour. Go out and support your only local jazz station that is funded entirely by grants and listener donations.
