JazzSet delivers rhythm... melody... harmony... improv... every week since 1992.

Each week, host Dee Dee Bridgewater brings you music in performance, sweet and hot. With her fine, friendly voice, the 2008 Grammy nominee introduces sets from coast to coast, and beyond.

JazzSet's quality recordings capture the legends, today's top bands, and promising new talent. Occasionally, the program dips into its archives and Dee Dee shares a moment that's too good not to share.

Highlights of the 2008-09 season include:

  • Continued coverage of Kennedy Center Jazz in Washington, DC, and sets from Jazz Standard, named by New York magazine as the Best Jazz Club of 2008.
     
  • And these artists:
    • Cassandra Wilson at the Chicago Symphony Center
    • Brian Blade's Fellowship with a never-heard set from the Village Vanguard
    • Milton Nascimento and the Jobim Trio from Brazil
    • Ron Miles Quartet with Bill Frisell, Reginald Veal, Matt Wilson playing Ellington, Monk and Miles
    • Edmar Castaneda on harp, with Joe Locke on vibes, at Seiji Ozawa Hall, Tanglewood '08
    • New Orleans trumpeter Marlon Jordan outdoors at Glenwood Springs Summer of Jazz
    • Saxophonist/clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera at NJPAC
