Kevin Jackson

I've been a Los Angeles area dancer (lindy hopper) and jazz collector for about 9 and 16 years, respectively.

I grew up wanting to be a guitar hero, but after attending college in New York I switched efforts to jazz piano, before finally realizing I enjoyed most just collecting and listening to great music!

The purpose of the station is to share my love of great swinging music! In keeping with the spirit of jazz, my approach to the station is to be as eclectic and broad as possible.
