In honor of Jazz Appreciation Month, KMUW's Global Village will focus on the exciting borders where jazz meets world music. Jazz has always been a very rich and absorptive genre, open to a range of influences and styles. Throughout April, Global Village will highlight early examples -- from the birth of Latin jazz and some of the first efforts to explore the African roots of jazz -- to some of today's most exciting new players and projects. Global Village airs Monday through Friday at 9 p.m. on KMUW FM89. You also can hear Global Village on the new KMUW-HD2 24-hour music service Mondays through Thursdays at midnight, 9 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Fridays at 5 p.m. The new Global Village Top 30 Show, part of world music Fridays on KMUW-HD2 and airing Fridays at noon and 8 p.m., highlights the latest and best in world music new releases.
