Jazz Northwest Holiday Show

On Christmas Day, Jazz Northwest celebrates with holiday music by many of our great resident artists from Portland to Vancouver B.C.  Included are favorites by Bill Smith, Susan Pascal, Dave Frishberg, Barney McClure, Ernestine Anderson, Jose Gonzales, SRJO, Don Lanphere, Nancy King, Karin Plato and Michael Powers.  

Jazz Northwest is followed by more holiday music by Northwest artists on the Origin Holiday Special hosted by Matt Jorgensen while Ken Wiley takes the holiday off.

Jazz Northwest is produced and hosted by Jim Wilke every Sunday at 2 p.m. Pacific on 88.5 knkx and knkx.org.  After broadcast, previous shows are available for streaming online at jazznw.org.  

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.
