Jazz Connections

Saturdays 8 pm - midnight

Classic jazz from the '20s through the present with a knowledgeable and passionate host each week:

1st week - Chuck Sher
Chuck Sher is a well-known Sonoma Co. jazz musician and internationally-known jazz book publisher. The first Saturday of each month he shares his amazing jazz CD collection with KRCB listeners, everything from Bill Evans to Coltrane, Celia Cruz to John Scofield, and
featuring the current crop of jazz composers from Europe and Latin America.

2nd - Larry Slater (The Jazz MD)

3rd - Maria Marquez
Venezuelan singer Maria Marquez brings an eclectic bag of musical choices. A lot of the old, the new and the hard to find in the Latin & Brazilian Jazz, soul-jazz, and jazz scenes from around the world ... Maria also includes local jazz artists in every program.

4th - Toby Gleason
KRCB-FM listeners may be familiar with Toby as the host of our afternoon drive-time NPR News shift, but he's also a well-known music authority and researcher, former assistant editor of Rolling Stone Magazine and manages his father, the last jazz critic and television producer Ralph J. Gleason's collected works as President of Jazz Casual Productions, Inc. He is also the radio and television commercial voice of See's Candies. Toby brings his considerable knowledge and his personal memories of jazz music from the '40s through the '70s to new jazz releases.

5th - Doug Jayne
