The Home of Jazz Music in Columbus, Ohio

In response to Columbus jazz fans’ confusion, Central Ohio’s 24 hour Jazz Radio Station, Jazz 98.5 FM, WSAX-LP, recently issued statements regarding their Jazz At The Amp series, which had a successful three-year run at the Westerville Alum Creek Park North Amphitheater. In a surprisingly audacious move, Westerville Parks and Recreation denied the station the ability to use the Amphitheater for the series in 2019 and instead decided to start its own separate series building on Jazz At The Amp’s success. This new series in Westerville is not supporting Columbus’ jazz radio station, and in my opinion, is not supporting the Columbus jazz community overall. WSAX’s Jazz At The Amp will return in 2020 at a new location, so stay tuned for details. In the meantime, see below for information on the station’s Saturday New Music Showcase, which offers listeners the chance to influence artist selection for the 2020 Jazz At The Amp and other concerts presented by the radio station.
