Join the global celebration of America’s greatest contribution to the world…JAZZ! April is Jazz Appreciation Month, first established in 2001 by John Edward Hasse, a curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. KBOO Community Radio is very proud to be the first FM station in the state of Oregon to program Jazz. Let’s celebrate KBOO’s diverse Jazz programming and the jocks (deejays or hosts) who volunteer their talent to share their love of (the) jazz music. Jazz Appreciation Month or JAM represents a sweet spot in the lives of KBOO’s music lovers. Join us throughout April when we toast America’s greatest art form at 90.7 FM or online at KBOO.FM.
