Your opportunity to support WHRV and VSOJAZ
It’s certainly no secret that virtually every type of arts and entertainment related organizaztion has been negatively impacted as a result of Covid-19. While performers who depend on revenue from live performances have certainly been amongst those hardest hit, listener supported radio stations like WHRO/WHRV are facing significant budget challenges as well. Because “Vocal Sound of Jazz” airs live late on Saturday evenings, I don’t get much opportunity to appeal to those of you who enjoy and value the program to show your support by making a contribution to the stations. But here in these challenging times any help you are willing to give in terms of support would be very appreciated. You can donate very simply by clicking here: whrv.org/donate
The VOCAL SOUND OF JAZZ began airing on 89.5 FM (now WHRV-FM) on January 4th 1980. Originally a 30 minute program that aired on Friday evenings, the program expanded to it current 60 minute format and moved to Saturday evenings during the 90s. It was also aired over WUOM in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a five-year period in the late 1980s.
Produced and hosted by Jack Frieden since its premiere broadcast, the program has always attempted to spotlight both jazz vocal music’s post 1950s history, as well as the new singers and songs that will continue to play an increasingly prominent role in the music’s future. With the internet’s ability to attract and entertain jazz vocal fans globally, Jack looks forward to broadening the mission and reach of the “Vocal Sound of Jazz” in coming years.
