Mark Miller, of the Globe and Mail, says Jazz Beat ”remains the Canadian jazz scene’s most important national forum”, and calls Katie Malloch “a warm and welcoming presence on air”.

Over Jazz Beat’s history, the program has broadcast recorded concerts with all the greats of the music: Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz and Ella Fitzgerald are just a few of the fabulous talents who've been broadcast in the past. This season, listeners can look forward to concerts from Chick Corea, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Joe Lovano, DeeDee Bridgewater, John Scofield, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Joey DeFrancesco and many more.

As well, Jazz Beat continues to bring its audience the cream of the crop of budding Canadian talent in the jazz field. Session and concert recordings keep you plugged into the national scene so that you can hear who’s cooking from coast to coast, before they hit the big time!

Tune in to hear the latest output from Canada’s established jazz veterans, like P.J. Perry, Rob McConnell, Sonny Greenwich and more.
