Jazz Safari
Saturdays at 8 on 88.5 NEPM
Dedicated to the proposition that variety is the spice of life, Jazz Safari strives to foster a new appreciation of jazz, while also exploring its musical cousins of the African diaspora. Host Kari Njiiri serves up a tasty mix every Saturday evening from 8:00 to 11:00. If you like what you hear, or want to tell us what you’d like to hear, let us know by sending e-mail to Kari!
