KCCK wraps up the summer by bringing back one of our favorite weekends of 2023, as we rebroadcast the Iowa City Jazz Festival throughout September. The fun begins on Labor Day. You’ll hear all the main stage performances, including Christian McBride, the Huntertones, Benny Bennack, Hannah Marks, Jon Ailabuoni, Damani Phillips, Shorter Stories, and the Salsa Band. Plus the students of the United Jazz Ensemble and North Corridor All Stars. Then each Wednesday in September, we’ll play back the local stage performances on the Wednesday Special. More than 18 hours of the best jazz in the nation! We’ll also take you backstage to listen in on our exclusive conversations with all the headliners.
