VPR Jazz 24
In October 2012, VPR launched an online-only 24-hour jazz music service, dubbed "VPR Jazz 24," for jazz-music listeners on its website, www.vpr.net. The station launched the service after George Thomas, its longtime evening jazz host, retired. The station also launched a new weekly jazz program, "Friday Night Jazz," hosted by Reuben Jackson, a music teacher at Burlington High School (Burlington, Vermont).

Famous quotes containing the word jazz:
“The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
