Marking jazz appreciation month in Denver
April is Jazz Appreciation month in America. So how should we celebrate? We report from KUVO, one of the nation’s top jazz stations. It’s located in the historic “Five Points” neighborhood of Denver, and this month, they’re mixing The Takeaway with the work of this year’s National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters.
Carlos Lando, the station’s program director and a man who knows jazz music, and Denver’s jazz history, plays us a few favorite tracks, and a brings us a little of the Denver scene.
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
