Jazz Perspectives are 3-4 minute highly produced features on jazz, Latin and blues artists.

Jazz Perspectives have aired for over 10 years on public radio stations in the US, Canada and New Zealand. Formerly carried online with NPR, they now appear weekly through streaming audio on Jazz Corner. (www.jazzcorner.com)

Some stations air Jazz Perspectives on the same day and time each week. Others use the feature in conjunction with a cut of the artist's music. Over 250 Jazz Perpsectives are available for broadcast with new ones produced each year. Contact producer Reese Erlich for more info. rerlich@pacbell.net
