Date: 09/29/2025 - 10/05/2025
WTJU’s 2025 Jazz Marathon is a wrap, and what a week we’ve had together! Dozens of musical deep dives, seven live performances, and the voices of our community on the radio… Thank you so much for supporting WTJU! Your gift matters more than ever in the wake of canceled federal funding.
If you haven’t yet donated, you still can. Please donate today!
All Jazz Marathon shows remain available in our Recent Shows archive for two weeks after broadcast. Scroll through and listen to shows you missed. Or maybe there are some favorites you want to listen to again.
If you want to keep listening after two weeks, check out some of our favorites from the Jazz Marathon on you MixCloud page.
There you can find: Here Comes The Sun – Bright Moments in Beatles Jazz with Mary Beth Bauermann, Eight O’Clock Jump – European Big Bands with Brendan O’Donnell, Jazz Meets the Middle East and North Africa with DJLP, La Perfecta – A tribute to Eddie Palmieri with DJ Jennifer G, Duane Allman and Derek Trucks with Peter Welch, Bill Evans: Master of Harmony and Melody with Dave Donahue.
You can also catch all seven of the concerts hosted live from the WTJU performance space on our YouTube page.
Whatever tomorrow brings, you know that with WTJU as a companion, you won’t be alone. Jazz has helped us weather stormy times before. It gives us so much.
But this music needs YOU today. Right now, WTJU faces the greatest threat in our history. With the recent cancellation of federal funding, WTJU now faces a $152,000 budget gap – this coming year and every year after.
As WTJU faces an urgent funding situation, please strengthen your own commitment to jazz, blues, and our music-loving community. Please make your most generous contribution today.
Better yet, switch to monthly giving as a WTJU sustainer to ensure stability and predictability in funding. Help protect free access to the music you and thousands of others count on.
Year after year, jazz lovers like you have made WTJU possible through your contributions. As we work to shore up our finances, we ask that you dig a little deeper for the music that’s been your faithful companion. If you value having WTJU as a part of your life, please give generously so that all can continue to benefit from the beauty of jazz and blues.
Your support today will help WTJU protect and share this essential music. While it won’t be easy, we can overcome this crisis together.
