Favorite Jazz Station? (midwest.social)

Sometimes its nice to let someone else take the wheel and have a jazz station(with a real human) playing while I work.

I'm currently in Chicago so I have a slight bias towards our public jazz station WDCB. Special shoutout to my two favorite programs they host Notes From the Jazz Underground and Jammin' Jazz

What are some of your local (or not) favorites?

I don't have any suggestions on this, but yours made me curious, so I looked up the links to listen to them online: WDCB Live and from the Jammin' Jazz link they also point to Jazz88.

Like ya said, some good tunes to have in the background!

KJazz 88.1 no contest. Jose Rizo is the goat

Oh nice, just added it to Foobar, thank you! I'll have to check out some of Jose's programs later, "Bop, Straight Ahead" sounds promising.

Bop straight ahead is good but honestly when he does jazz on the Latin side you can tell he's home

I listen to KCSM The Bay Area’s Jazz Station https://kcsm.org/ and TSF Jazz, a French jazz station https://www.tsfjazz.com/

A French station, amazing! TSF is definitely going into the rotation. I'll be checking out KCSM later today as well, California seems to have a pretty healthy jazz radio scene, love to see it.

Thanks for the shares!
