A Holiday Sampler On Jazz Northwest

Jim Wilke

KNKX

Time once again to turn on the Christmas lights, put a Santa cap on the microphone and settle in for a seasonal sampler of musicians from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.  With the beginning of winter, the shortest days of the year and multiple holiday traditions and celebrations, this is our celebration with a sampling of resident musicians in the Pacific Northwest.

This year's show includes Bobby Medina, Karin Plato, David Friesen, Dave Frishberg, Thomas Marriott, the SRJO, Primo Kim, Michael Powers, Tony Glausi and Susan Pascal among others singing and playing seasonal music.  We thank them all for their inspiration and imagination.

Jim has been a fixture on Seattle radio since 1961. He was the host of Jazz After Hours on Public Radio International from 1984-2014. Currently Jim has been producing Jazz Northwest for KNKX since 1988. This weekly program focuses on the regional jazz scene and frequently includes performances Jim records on location for Jazz Northwest.
