Marc Myers writes the daily blog JazzWax, which he started in August 2007
and which won the 2012 JJA Award for Blog of the Year -- it is syndicated by Toronto's
radio station JazzFM.91. His book Why Jazz Happened was published in 2013, and he

Journal since 2010. He's written liner notes for a dozen jazz recordings, and conducted
many celebrity interviews, with Dave Brubeck, B.B. King and Fats Domino, among others.
Having studied journalism as an undergraduate at Northeastern University (and history
as a graduate student at Columbia University), Marc began his professional journalistic
career as an intern at the New York Times in the late 1970s, joining the paper full-time
in 1980 in the sports department. He has held editorial positions at Adweek, Working
Woman magazine, Bottom Line/ Personal. His other books are How to Make Luck: 7 Secrets

and Ernst & Young's Profit from the New Tax Law.
Ted Panken writes about jazz and creative music for various publications,
including DownBeat, Jazziz and Jazz Times. He has written more than 500 liner notes
as well as program notes for Jazz at Lincoln Center concerts, and had contributed
significantly to the jazz.com 'zine, for which he functioned as an editor and writer.
From 1985 until 2008, Ted was program host on WKCR-FM in New York City, where he
broadcast and documented the changing scene as it evolved in the jazz capital, conducting
hundreds of extensive live-in-studio interviews with musicians ranging from Sonny
Rollins to John Zorn, Roy Haynes to Anthony Braxton, Ahmad Jamal to Muhal Richard
Abrams. Some of Ted's older work and transcriptions of his interviews are posted
on his blog Today Is The Question.

of H.L. Mencken, and City Limits: Memories of a Small-Town. He is the editor of
Beyond the Boom: New Voices on American Life, Culture, and Politics and Ghosts on

Dee Dee Bridgewater, best known as a jazz singer (winning the JJA's Award
for Female Singer of the Year in 2010) and most recently star of Lady Day:The
Billie Holiday Music, an Off-Broadway production, is the host of JazzSet, produced
by Becca Pulliam and presented by WBGO (Newark) for National Public Radio.
Rusty Hassan is a veteran radio program host based in Washington, D.C. He
began his work in non-profit radio at a college junior at Georgetown University's
WGTB in 1966, moved on to WDCU, and has broadcast for the past 18 years from WPFW.
He has also been an adjunct faculty member teaching jazz history at Georgetown and
American University. Rusty became interested in jazz through Top 40 radio stations
while growing up in Greenwich CT in the 1950s. He was swept away by the album Benny
Goodman at Carnegie Hall when in seventh grade, and soon after Bird 'n' Diz, from
their Carnegie Hall concert. As a teenager he attended the Newport Jazz Festival
and after enrolling in Georgetown, performances in D.C. clubs such as Bohemian Caverns.
He has interviewed many artists, including Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Sun Ra on
his shows, which he programs live, improvisationally mixing classic jazz with newly
issued music, and he pioneered the strategy of playing consecutively diverse renditions
of the same song, vocals amid instrumental versions.
Josh Jackson, winner of the JJA's Willis Conover-Marian McPartland Award
for Excellence in Broadcasting in 2010 and 2012, was named WBGO's Vice President

heard on Live at the Village Vanguard, and has hosted The Checkout: Live at 92Y

live audio and video, including interactive chats with fans, on the web. Josh began
his radio career at WWOZ in New Orleans, worked as a production assistant at American
Routes, and moved to New York to become the associate producer of Jazz From Lincoln
Center with Ed Bradley, prior to joining WBGO in 2001. He is also a partner in the
multi-media, multi-platform production company Joyride Media, and has served as
Master of Ceremonies of the JJA Jazz Awards parties in New York since 2011.
