This holiday season we’ve got a whole lotta love for you, Detroit! 

Beginning Thursday, Dec. 25 and each weekday until Friday, Jan. 2, get immersed in a master class of jazz history as we pre-empt The Metro and In the Groove to bring you encore broadcasts of Ed Love’s Evolution of Jazz from 10.am. to 3 p.m. 

It’s a chance to hear the story of jazz the way only Ed Love can tell it, with the depth, passion, and insight he’s famous for.

Put some Love in your holiday season – only on WDET Detroit Public Radio!

Tune in at 101.9 FM or stream at wdet.org to hear rebroadcasts of Ed Love’s Evolution of Jazz.

Every year, legendary jazz broadcaster Ed Love (host of Destination Jazz: The Ed Love Program on 101.9 WDET Sundays 5–7 p.m.) curates a list of recently-released recordings that he considers required listening for today’s jazz lovers.

This year’s list features 166 “CDs” from around the world, from France with Michel Petrucciani’s ‘Jazz Club Montmartre’ to right here in Detroit with the compilation album ‘Strata-East: The Legacy Begins.’
