Live at the Bop Stop

Series produced by Daniel Peck

Series image

The Bop Stop, winner of All About Jazz's Best Jazz Venue in America for 2019, is opening its archives of live recordings to present a one hour weekly live jazz performance show available to non commercial, community, educational and jazz formatted radio stations.

The 2022 NIVA Award Winning Live at the Bop Stop is recorded live to air in Cleveland, Ohio, comes without a sponsor, is provided to non-commercial, community, educational, online or jazz formatted stations like yours here on PRX and is available free of charge with minimal run obligations. It is produced and engineered at Gilazar Media in Fairlawn, Ohio.

All shows except for Christmas themed shows are evergreen, and can be broadcast or rebroadcast in any order and any time slot without time sensitive references or commitments. It's an ideal late night time slot show, as the goal of the program is to replicate the "feel" of being in a live jazz club, but for some stations it works as part of a larger daytime jazz block instead.

2021 and 2022 editions of the program were hosted by Gabe Pollack 2023 and onward editions of the program are hosted by Daniel Peck.

Stations that choose to air the program on a weekly basis receive a :30 second promotional announcement and a dry read liner for their use.

Please note that only a portion of the library of programs are available via PRX. We have 90 additional shows available in other formats.

For an example of air dates and times, a link to the podcast version of the program, and an affiliate list, feel free to click on the show website link.

This program cannot be excerpted and episodes must be aired in their entirety. Please contact the show producers for additional information.
