The Summer is also bringing announcements about the fall - September has great news in concerts from Kente Arts, MCG Jazz, the 20th Monroeville Jazz Festival, the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival and much more.

In 2018, WZUM and a legion of jazz presenters and performers teamed up together to emphasize how much there was to enjoy. In the 5 years since, through the rebound from a pandemic, the jazz scene in Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Jazz Channel are growing with excitement and events. As we enter into our new budget year, the future of jazz on the radio and in the region looks bright - especially with your time and support.
