The Jazz-O-Rama Hour

Each show has a theme and includes personnel and historical background on each record, between 1920 and 1969.

Joe Bev has been producing radio in many genres since 1971 when he was twelve. At 19 in 1980, Bev became the youngest person to produce a radio show for public radio. He co-hosted The Jazz Show with Garret Gega in the early 80s, a four hour a week mix classic jazz and comedy. Bev also worked for WBGO, Jazz 88 in Newark, NJ and produced documentaries for WNYC New York Public Radio on jazz legends including Louis Armstrong, Wynton Marsalis, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Cab Calloway, and Lionel Hampton.

Jason Longwell, Station Manager, Geneva Community Radio said "I think this program would be a great addition to our schedule..." Hide full description
