Tune in to WWOZ today as we celebrate the 90th birthday of the divine jazz singer and educator Germaine Bazzle! Expect to hear salutes throughout the day from our show hosts (including a few surprises along the way).

At 5pm CT, show host Maryse Dejean will share rare recordings of Germaine performing live at Jazz Fest, including at the very first Jazz Fest in 1970! These recordings are held at the The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation Archive.
