WCLK is celebrating 50 years on the air by asking our announcers and staff to give us their top ten Jazz records. This list comes from Rick Joyner, host of Serenade To The City, weekdays from 10pm until 2am on Jazz 91.9 WCLK:
Looking at my list I am reminded that I am a "Hopeless Romantic". Music has always been in my DNA, but discovering Jazz in High School, particularly these artists, propelled me to another level of love and appreciation for this incredible art form.
