New National Jazz Radio Program With Neil Tesser & Mark Ruffin
November 19, 2004 | https://news.allaboutjazz.com/
JAZZ REVIEW PROGRAM MAKES NATIONAL DEBUT IN JANUARY
Listen Here! features journalists and radio hosts Neil Tesser and Mark Ruffin.
CHICAGO -- Radio stations throughout North America and the Caribbean will be carrying a new weekly jazz radio program beginning in January, 2005. Dubbed Listen Here!, the show will be hosted by Chicago-based jazz journalists and radio hosts Neil Tesser and Mark Ruffin, and distributed by WFMT Radio Network.
The program will air in a two-hour format incorporating conversation, criticism, debate, recorded music, interviews, and occasional live performances from jazz venues around North America.
With a tip of the hat to Ebert and Roeper, Tesser and Ruffin will review the newest jazz recordings, analyzing and playing the best of the best and often agreeing to disagree. Each week
You can't listen to Listen Here here
Posted By Peter Margasak on 01.26.07 | www.chicagoreader.com/
Starting February 20 the Chicago Cultural Center will begin hosting monthly tapings of Listen Here, the nationally syndicated jazz radio show hosted by former WBEZ DJs Mark Ruffin and (Reader contributor) Neil Tesser. The one-hour program, which launched in 2005, features record reviews, conversation between the hosts, interviews, and live performances as well as some recorded music. Local guitarist Fareed Haque plays live for the first Cultural Center taping.
Oddly, though Listen Here is produced here and distributed by the local WFMT Radio Network, it can't actually be heard on the radio in Chicago. Elgin’s WEPS (88.9 FM) is the closest station to broadcast the show, but its 740 watt signal doesn’t penetrate city limits. (You can listen to the show via the program Web site.) Perhaps now someone will finally pick it up—maybe even the station that provides the feed to the dozens of stations around the country that do air it.
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.
If you can't find Listen Here! on your local public radio station, drop us a line and we'll let them know what you - and they - are missing. You can reach us at info@listenhereradio.com.

These awards are granted each year by ASCAP, the world's largest performing-rights organization.
Author of liner notes for nearly 200 albums - one of which, the Stan Getz reissue The Girl from Ipanema, received a Grammy nomination in 1985 - Tesser previously hosted nightly jazz programs at Chicago Public Radio (1980-1996) and WNIB-FM (1974-1976).
