Jazz Forward
It's a non-traditional jazz show, more about a feel and a groove than strict guidelines or arguments about "what is jazz?" That can't be answered, and Jazz Forward doesn't try - it just lays out 3-hours of great music every week that hopefully makes you dance a bit, think a bit and maybe even cry a bit. Isn't music lovely?
