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 basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
—André Previn (b. 1929)
