New Jazz Northwest was a 13 episode, one hour radio program based on the digital recordings of the first two seasons of Earshot’s “New Jazz New City” concerts. The series that went on the air on January 1989, highlighted performances by over 70 jazz musicians from Vancouver, B.C. to Portland, Oregon.
