“Jazz Throughout the Twentieth Century”
Eric Jackson, Host, “Eric in the Evening,” WGBH 89.7
Eric Jackson, the host of WGBH’s “Eric in the Evening,” is widely considered the Dean
of Boston Jazz Radio. Over the years, Jackson has hosted more than 3,000 interviews with music greats ranging rom Wynton Marsalis to Ornette Coleman to Dizzy Gillespie.
He became a regular part of the WGBH lineup in 1977 with “Artists in the Night,” an overnight jazz music showcase. “Eric in the Evening” debuted in 1981 and with it his emergence as one of public broadcasting’s most popular on-air personalities. Jackson keeps his show fresh by playing music from all corners of the jazz world, celebrating artists’ birthdays - a way to bring less familiar musicians into the mix - and giving his
own wide-ranging taste free rein. In a single show he might play jazz from the 1920s and electronic music composed last year. In addition to public broadcasting, Jackson is also a
member of the Northeastern University faculty where he teaches a course entitled The African American Experience through Music. WGBH recently celebrated Jackson’s more
than 40 years on-air with “Eric Jackson Week.”
