About
Your
Travel
Host:
Eric
Jackson
Eric
Jackson,
widely
considered
to
be
the
dean
of
Boston
jazz
radio,
has
been
heard
nightly
on
WGBH
89.7
for
more
than
20
years.
Jazz
with
Eric
in
the
Evening
has
been
voted
radio’s
“Best
Jazz
Show”
numerous
times
by
readers
of
The
Boston
Globe.
Artists
from
Wynton
Marsalis
to
Ornette
Coleman
and
Dizzy
Gillespie
have
appeared
or
performed
live
on
his
show.
And
countless
music
writers
and
record
companies
routinely
call
him
for
inspiration
and
direction
for
their
projects.
Jackson
began
his
broadcast
career
in
1969
while
attending
Boston
University
as
host
of
three
music
shows
(offering
rhythm
&
blues,
jazz
and
what
he
calls
“mixed
music”)
on
the
school’s
closed-circuit
AM
station.
Continuing
his
work
in
college
radio,
he
went
on
to
host
WBUR’s
The
Grotto
at
Boston
University
(1970)
and
WHRB’s
Going
East
at
Harvard
University
(1971)
before
moving
to
the
commercial
airwaves
with
a
Sunday
afternoon
jazz
program
on
WILD
(1972).
Directly
prior
to
joining
the
89.7
family,
Jackson
hosted
a
contemporary
mixed-music
show
for
WBCN,
where
he
also
produced
and
hosted
Third
World
Report,
a
weekly
public
affairs
program.
Jackson
got
his
first
taste
of
WGBH
when
he
wrote
and
narrated
Essays
in
Black
Music,
a
35-part
chronology
of
African
American
musical
history
which
aired
on
89.7
in
1975.
But
it
wasn’t
until
1977’s
Artists
in
the
Night,
an
overnight
showcase
for
many
different
styles
of
jazz,
that
he
began
to
develop
the
personal
manner
of
presentation
that
has
since
become
his
signature.
Jazz
with
Eric
in
the
Evening
debuted
in
1981
and
with
it
Jackson
became
one
of
WGBH’s
most
popular
personalities—and
remains
so
in
his
third
decade
with
the
station.
An
active
promoter
of
jazz
throughout
the
region
and
across
the
country,
Jackson
makes
numerous
appearances
each
year.
He
lectures
on
the
history
of
jazz
at
the
Longy
School
of
Music
and
has
taught
a
course
on
the
history
of
African
American
music
at
Northeastern
University.
He
was
also
instrumental
in
developing
exhibits
for
the
American
Jazz
Museum
in
Kansas
City,
Missouri.
