Jax Music Hour Playlist | May 18

Last week on the Jax Music Hour (Saturdays at 8PM on WJCT News 89.9 FM), we spun an hour’s worth of artists we’ll be hearing at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival next weekend, May 24-26, at Metropolitan Park and Daily’s Place in Downtown Jacksonville. It’s free to attend but you can get VIP tickets and learn more about the festival here. Also, the JME team put together a jazz-centric guide to this year’s fest (read here).

On May 18, we spun artists who will grace the jazz fest stages this year, including Joss Stone and Duval drummer Jamison Ross, as well as legendary festival acts of yesteryear, such as Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie.

Here’s what played on the Jax Music Hour this week. Catch future episodes of the show on the air on 89.9 WJCT News every Saturday at 8PM, part of JME Saturday Nights. And if you’re a jazz fan, make sure you tune into the Jazz Brunch on The Independent 89.9 HD4 every Sunday, 10AM to noon.
