"The Jazz Room" has had many changes since starting in 2006. Our format is Jazz and conversation.

For many years we have covered the Newport Jazz Festival and the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival.

Each program we present the music of independent jazz artists, as well as those we've grown to love through the years. And yes, of course, the legends.
