THE SHOWTalkin' Jazz is a free nationally syndicated two-minute feature that includes music, narrative segments, and recorded interviews on the topic of jazz. Listen each day for a little taste of jazz history, stories about compositions or recording sessions, and anecdotes from the artists themselves. The program details the influences and origins of some of jazz's legendary musicians and performances – and shows us why the music is relevant to us today.
We are launching an hour long version of Talkin' Jazz in Spring 2008.

Talkin' Jazz is hosted by Scott Willis and produced for broadcast by Kellen Yamanaka, in cooperation with Lemoskin Productions in North Hollywood.
