Public radio colleague Jim Cunningham, the voice of WQED, is guest hosts in this week's MCG Jazz Spotlight Show alongside Marty Ashby. These two have a magnetic conversation and play a raft of Jim's jazz favorites, including Dave Brubeck, Ella Fitzgerald, Wynton Marsalis, Weather Report and Charlie Parker.

Hear Jim’s “radio origin story” as a teen, and music surprises he’s enjoyed along the way.

The MCG Jazz Spotlight - Friday and Sunday at 6pm and Saturday at 1pm on The Pittsburgh Jazz Channel WZUM.
