All Star Jazz Rally for WMOT

Limelight Nashville

February 15, 2009

Add Review/Comment

A coalition of nonprofit jazz organizations in Middle Tennessee is mounting a campaign to save public radio station WMOT, 89.5 FM. The station is on the list of programs that may be eliminated by Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) as part of state budget cuts.

Participating in the effort to save WMOT are the Nashville Jazz Orchestra, Nashville Jazz Workshop , and Tennessee Jazz & Blues Society. The lineup includes:

• The Nashville Jazz Orchestra, with Connye Florance, Annie Sellick, Matt Belsante, and special guests Felix Cavaliere (of Rascals fame) and Diane Marino
• Victor Wooten
• Rod McGaha
• The Pat Coil Sextet
• Christina Watson
• El Movimiento, with Rahsaan Barber, Edwin Santiago, & Giovanni Rodriguez

In April, 2009 WMOT Jazz89 will celebrate its 40th year in operation. It is the only station in Middle Tennessee with a 24/7 mainstream jazz format, and one of the few left in the USA. It offers jazz related programming that includes shows hosted by professional staff and student DJs, top syndicated shows from NPR and other sources, and many CDs by Nashville jazz artists. As a major outlet in this area for what has long been called “America’s only original art form,” the disappearance of WMOT would be a terrible loss to the cultural life of Middle Tennessee.

They always have the Clarksville fight club on thier card, and I think they are the best fight team in our area, they always come to fight! Collapse

    I can't wait for a promotion where Clarksville fight club is involved. THESE DUDES ARE EXPLOSIVE! I heard they have around 15 fights lined up, should be a wicked show.
