The KTRU 91.7 FM Jazz Show Page

KTRU 91.7 FM is the all-volunteer, student-run, non-commercial radio station of Rice University in Houston, Texas. We play mostly non-blocked, ultra-eclectic programming, with a fair number of specialty shows. KTRU finally has a general Web page! Still under heavy construction tho.

I'm jazz director for the KTRU Jazz Show, on every Sunday from 11am - 1am. I usually do a night shift. We're the oldest such radio show in Houston, and the only one that plays the full spectrum of non-(commercial/pop) jazz.

If you're interested in what we play, here are some past seasonal best-of playlists:

We also put on a really kick-ass show with the 1st (and so far only) KTRU Avant-Jazz Festival.

Check out WNUR's fine Jazz Information Server. You can peruse other radio stations on the Web, too.
