We feature contemporary big bands, vocalists, combos and individual artists performing modern interpretations of standards as well as original works. In addition, our musical mix always includes 'classic' performances of the the great jazz icons. Between sets, we like to put our own 'spin' on the music and share first hand information about many of the artists that we feature. Listeners tell us that our style is 'laid-back' and our commentary is often humorous. We have fun and hope it's catching.

In order to get the 'flavor' of our programming tastes, here is a representative (if not inclusive) sample of the groups/artists that we might choose from when designing 'Two 4 Jazz' shows:
