A Special Celebration for International Jazz Day - April 30, 2024

The Smooth Jazz Kitchen with Bruce Buege

International Jazz Day is the culmination of Jazz Appreciation Month, which draws public attention to jazz and its extraordinary heritage throughout April.
Each year I'm proud to be a part of this wonderful celebration by presenting some of the best of the jazz world's newest music. All of this music has been released since the start of this year and appear on albums featured prominently across jazz radio, once again showing that jazz today is very much alive and thrives as well as it ever has.
Not as smooth like I usually give you, but please enjoy this year's finest so far in modern and traditional jazz my friends. Love and peace always from your Chef...
