Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz returns to the KUVO airwaves. Tune in on Saturday mornings at 8am to hear many acclaimed JAZZ artists share their music & memories with Marian.

In 1964, Marian McPartland launched a new venture on WBAI-FM (New York City), conducting a weekly radio program that featured recordings and interviews with guests. Pacifica Radio‘s West Coast stations also carried this series, which paved the way for Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz, a National Public Radio series (aired 1978 to 2011) that began recording on 8 Oct 1978 and premiered on 1 April 1979 on WLTR (South Carolina) and was offered nationally by NPR.  more
