How you can Help:
TBA
Description:
We are a Hispanic-controlled radio station combining mainstream and Latin jazz, blues, and specialty music interspersed with news and information.
Programs and Projects:
As our name indicates, jazz89 KUVO, we are mostly a jazz station. We chose jazz as our main format because we believe jazz to be the best musical representation of what this country is, a melting pot of various cultures each contributing its own ingredients to create something new and uniquely American in the true sense of the word. We also play the blues, the spinal chord of jazz as well as a variety of Latino and African derived music genres on the weekends.
When it comes to playing jazz on the radio jazz89 KUVO has earned a national reputation for playing the entire spectrum of recorded jazz, from the landmark Louis Armstrong Red Hot Fives & Sevens recordings of the 1920’s to the latest album by Wynton Marsalis and everything in between, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Ray Charles, Sonny Rollins, Carmen McRae, Joe Williams, Marian McPartland, Terence Blanchard, Diana Krall, Tito Puente, Monty Alexander, George Shearing, Arturo Sandoval and Kurt Elling. Traditional, swing, bop, trios, big bands, vocals, Latin and free-style, it’s all played on your Oasis in the City.
We also emphasize Denver and Colorado musicians like Dianne Reeves, Javon Jackson, Phil Urso, Ellyn Rucker, Ken Walker, Joe Bonner and Dale Bruning.
We ensure the future of jazz through our monthly performances of local middle school, high school and college ensembles.
Saturday afternoons we have our blues shows followed by a neo-soul program to attract younger and non-jazz or blues listeners. Sunday is specialty day, from gospel to Native American to South American. In addition, we feature the music of the Southwest Mexican-American and Chicano experience followed by Latin rock. Moreover, we have Afro-Caribbean jazz and dance music, then the music of the African Diaspora, continuing with Brazilian before returning to our jazz format on Sunday night. All of these shows feature folklore, classics and modern styles.
