WFMT's Jazz Network's excellent lineup of hosts includes GRAMMY Award-winning Jazz commentator Neil Tesser, longtime radio host Dave Schwan, Jazz vocalist and educator Dee Alexander and Jazz aficionado John Hill. We’re excited to have their voices and talents on the Jazz Network!

The hours are produced here in Chicago at our studios, and we are delighted to be able to offer custom promos, biographies, photos, and other supplemental materials to help make the Jazz Network a robust and healthy cornerstone of your schedule!

Following the enormous success of the Beethoven Network classical music format service and in response to radio station requests for low-cost, high-quality hosted jazz hours, the WFMT Radio Network created the Jazz Network, now 9 hours each day of fantastic mainstream Jazz programming.

Jazz Network debuted in April 1997 with a strong and rapidly growing base of affiliates. The qualities and features that have worked so well with Bach, Mozart and Beethoven now apply to Evans, Coltrane and Parker through the Jazz Network.
