Final Jazz Show
06/29/12 9:00PM By George Thomas
Tonight is my final Jazz Show on VPR. I'm honored to have shared jazz
with the VPR community for the last 11 years and I'm glad to hear VPR
will continue to air this great American art form. Many thanks to the
generous musicians who shared their talents in VPR's Performance Space and through their CDs.
