Tom Reney

Welcome to Jazz à la Mode. I'm your host, Tom Reney, and I'm with you Monday through Friday between 8:00 and 11 p.m. with a program that spans the rich and varied traditions of jazz from the 1920's to the present. Whether it’s a great standard by George Gershwin or Duke Ellington, a modern jazz classic by Miles Davis or Sonny Rollins, or the latest from Diana Krall and Wynton Marsalis, we’ll have something to satisfy your tastes tonight.

Throughout our programming, you'll hear the latest releases and reissues of jazz. In addition, birthdays, anniversaries and other significant milestones of jazz, as well as previews of concerts taking place around Western New England, are regularly highlighted.

Join us tonight, and if you'd like to tell us what you think of the show, or what you'd like to hear, do it now by sending e-mail to tr@wfcr.org!
