12th Street Jump

Midnight on Saturdays

12th Street Jump is a one-hour program that celebrates the artists who made jazz and blues the quintessential American art form. Tune in every Saturday at midnight!

Hosts Pearl McDonald and Pete Weber, jazz artists Joe Cartwight, Tyrone Clark and Mike Warren and vocalists David Basse and Nedra Dixon keep the music alive in a rapid fire program of topical sketch comedy, jazz and the blues.

12th Street Jump remains in production but is not currently performing before live audiences.
