The End Of Jazz On WBEZ
This is a copy of an email I got from someone who works at WBEZ. Anyone who loves jazz in Chicago should be outraged. . . .
I'm letting as many music people know that WBEZ-Chicago Public Radio announced yesterday that they are planning to phase out jazz and all music programming by the end of this year. The music director was let go, but five music hosts are still employed, and still trying to do compelling shows for the rest of this year. Just want to get the word out so that if musicians and music people choose to react, they at least have the info.
There is a comment forum at www.chicagopublicradio.org. Contact information is also on the web site and feedback can be directed to general manager and program director.
