Marking jazz appreciation month in Denver

The World

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.
