We have encountered some issues with the manufacturer that produces the HD Radio equipment needed to complete our upgrades on WBAA Jazz 101.3 FM HD2. Unfortunately, WBAA Jazz HD2 will be off the air until the end of January. This has not impacted WBAA News AM 920 or WBAA Classical 101.3 FM. You can still listen to WBAA Jazz online at wbaa.org/listen-on-air and with the WBAA app. Thank you for your patience as we make these essential upgrades.

This recording was made September 15, 1978. Burt Harrison, a retired communications professor from Washington State University interviewed John DeCamp in the studios of WBAA. Thanks to the National Public Broadcasting Archives at the University of Maryland for a copy of this material. Please note that the interviewer, Dr. Harrison, was working "off mike" and is difficult to hear.
