The Vocal Sound Of Jazz
Now in our 44th year The Vocal Sound of Jazz is broadcast every Saturday night at 8pm EST on Southeastern Virginia’s NPR affiliate WHRV-FM 89.5.

Listen online at whro.org or listen on demand anytime at http://bit.ly/listentovsojaz.
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.
