WNUR Jazz Report, 4/14/97

NEWS

• This week and next week (April 14-18 and 21-25) both the Jazz and Rock shows on WNUR are featuring the results of our respective Best of 1996 polls. I'll send the actual poll results out in a separate message. Jazz will be featuring one winning new album and one reissue every weekday at 11:00am, counting down from 10 to 1. In addition, music from the 30 top new releases and 25 top new reissues will be featured throughout the jazz show these two weeks, as well as DJs' own personal favorites of last year.
