Listen Here! is the jazz review radio program hosted by critics, friends and sparring partners Neil Tesser and Mark Ruffin. Listen Here! debuted in January 2005, as a high-energy one-hour show incorporating conversation, criticism, debate, recorded music, interviews, and occasional live performances from jazz venues around North America.

Tesser and Ruffin preview and review the newest jazz recordings, analyzing and playing the best of the best and often agreeing to disagree. Each week's program includes an interview with a prominent jazz artist, discussing his or her latest recording.

And Listen Here! goes on the road as well, recording live on stage at some of the best-known jazz clubs and settings in the U.S. and Canada. Tesser and Ruffin have earned the right to disagree. Friends for more than twenty years, both have been active in the jazz scene in Chicago and across the United States - as critics, radio hosts and journalists for both print and broadcast.
