WNUR Jazz Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The WNUR Jazz Show is broadcast on 89.3 FM in Chicago, in the northern suburbs of Evanston on the Northwestern campus, and streaming via the internet. The DJs are community DJs and Northwestern University students and alumni who complete one quarter of apprenticeship.

The Jazz Show's mission is to provide a medium for otherwise unheard music through the airwaves of Chicago and on the Internet, while focusing on various forms of improvised music. The Jazz Show specializes in independent, experimental and underground music, and emphasizes new and local releases. Its content features music from Chicago, across the country, and around the world. Jazz DJs play free jazz, free improvisation, noise, and anything else that attempts to expand the boundaries of music. The WNUR Jazz Show is one of the few radio and streaming internet sources for some of the aforementioned styles of music.
