WDCB Sponsored Jazz Events
In the city of Chicago, your broadcasting options for good jazz is very limited. The NPR station, WBEZ, that used to broadcast classic jazz during the overnight hours, has since closed up shop.
There is WNUA, which is a Smooth Jazz station. However, I have never been as big a fan of Smooth Jazz as I have the classic jazz of people like Miles Davis and Dizzie Gillespie.
There is, however, WDCB, which is the listener-sponsored station on the campus of the College of DuPage. They have become the leading jazz station in the city by default. They also sponsor a lot of great jazz events. Finally, the stream online, so those of you in other places can tune in.
This weekend, WDCB is sponsoring “Hot Jazz 6 Cool Nights.” From July 20 through July July 26, at the Larrance Academic Center at North Central College, starting at 8 pm each night. The program features the music of the Janie Borla Vocal Jazz Camp Faculty. The cost is $17 for adults, $14 for students and seniors.
