Host of GBH/89.7fm's Jazz from Studio Four, Producer, Live From Studio One & Jazz Portraits

Steve Schwartz has been part of GBH Radio since 1985, bringing a wealth of jazz programming knowledge to the airwaves.Jazz from Studio Four, airing Sundays at 8pm on GBH/89.7fm, provides Schwartz a venue for his many talents as a producer and host.

Born and raised in Boston (except for a brief detour to Los Angeles), Schwartz was inspired by several local and national jazz announcers, including Tony Cennamo, Ed Beach and Symphony Sid Torin.

Selling a family business in 1983, Schwartz started a company which published photographs of jazz musicians as postcards and landed a part-time job as a jazz announcer on WBUR.He joined GBH in 1985, creating the station's weekend overnight jazz program, The Jazz Gallery.His current program, Jazz from Studio Four (formerly Now's the Time), began in September 1990.

In addition to his on-air duties, Schwartz produces the live jazz performance series Live from Studio One, heard twice each month on Jazz with Eric in the Evening and The Jazz Songbook.This series features live, in-studio performances by locally-based musicians.This exposure is a boost for the local jazz scene, he says, giving listeners a chance to hear who be out there and the musicians an opportunity to promote their live appearances and recording projects..

Schwartz also regularly records visiting jazz artists such as Carol Sloane, Ellis and Branford Marsalis, Joe Lovano, Mili Bermejo, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Danilo Perez and Max Roach at locations around greater Boston.These recordings are broadcast on various GBH jazz programs throughout the year, and many have been distributed nationally on the weekly National Public Radio (NPR) program JazzSet With Branford Marsalis.

Schwartz produced the GBH/89.7fm series Jazz Portraits.Funded, in part, by the New England Foundation for the Arts, each program presented an internationally-known jazz musician telling his or her own story in words and music.Featured artists included Herb Pomeroy, Jackie McLean, Alan Dawson, Jimmy Giuffre, Attila Zoller, Archie Shepp, George Russell, Yusef Lateef, Mili Bermejo, and Avery Sharpe.

An avid collector, Schwartz has an extensive library of jazz books and discographies, thousands of CDs, LPs, cassettes, and music videos.He loves to cook and enjoys novels, biographies, film noir and Preston Struges movies.
