WRTI’s legendary jazz hot Bob Perkins is stepping away from weeknight jazz broadcasts. Perkins will continue hosting his weekly 'Sunday Jazz Brunch” show.
“I like melody. Something they can hum. Music they danced and romanced to when they were young people.”
In 1977, Perkins, 88, started up a side gig with a public radio Saturday night jazz show at 90.9 WHYY-FM — the station where he coined his “BP with the GM” moniker. Later, in the mid-’80s, Perkins hosted a WDAS-AM jazz show that mixed in Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee with jazz artists like Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
