Jazz Across America- Chicago
About The Program
Every weekday at 5PM (Pacific), KSDS, San Diego's Jazz 88.3 brings the flavor of a great American Jazz city to your ears. Chicago was the nation’s first records capital, where Louis Armstrong gained fame, Benny Goodman came up, and Lennie Tristano challenged bebop. Gene Ammons, Ramsey Lewis, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and now Marquis Hill and Makaya McCraven-all of them shaped by the city's mix of grit and silk. You'll find them and more, along with new discs from across the spectrum, and unique insights, with GRAMMY-winning writer/broadcaster Neil Tesser.
