The Edge of Jazz
Sundays 10-11 p.m.
What is jazz? Jazz is as varied and diverse as Utah itself. It has high peaks and low valleys. It can be glossy, it can be gritty, it can be lush, and it can be very sparse. It can rush like a river or flow like a calming stream, and it is rooted in tradition while always embarking on new directions. Let’s explore it together on The Edge of Jazz, Sunday nights at 10.
