Wyoming Public Media is proud to bring you Jazz Wyoming, a channel dedicated just to jazz. Here you'll find the greats, emerging artists, and occasionally the progressives that will take you right off the charts.
Some people say that jazz is America's only true art form. It was born in America, among the enslaved Black people who made up music coming from the variety of cultures they came from.
Fast forward to today, and millions of people dance to, work to, pray to, and just sit back and listen to the distinct melodies, harmonies, rhythm, and rich improvisation that can take them anywhere into the imagination. You can also catch up on the news from NPR at the top of each hour. For those who enjoy keeping up with events in the jazz world, we also offer NPR's collection of stories and news items.
Show your love, share your story. Let us know why you love Jazz Wyoming.
We hope you enjoy this channel – some listeners tell us that they stream it at work or at night in their homes. However you listen, please feel free to help continue this tradition. You are always welcome to make a gift in support of Jazz Wyoming! Donate here.
