Welcome to a new season of The Blue Jay! This episode is a tribute to WKCR's Phil Schaap. We hear interviews with alums who tell us how Schaap kept jazz alive by teaching generations of listeners how to listen.

The Blue Jay is brought to you by The Blue and White Magazine, a monthly undergraduate publication from Columbia University. Visit our website, theblueandwhite.org, to read current and archived student works stretching back to our founding in 1890.
