GLT Jazz host Laura Kennedy
She doesn't like to be called a "diva," but she doesn't edit this part of the web site so she has no say. We like to think of her as our resident jazz diva and expert on all things swing. She's also the only jazz host who goes "all squirrely-girly" over Frank Sinatra, but in all honesty, we've not asked Jon Norton about his Sinatra reaction. You can hear Laura Kennedy, weekday mornings from 9 AM to 1 PM and from Noon to 1 PM, she brings you the Blue Plate Special, spotlighting a new or classic jazz release of her choice. Learn more about one of your favorite GLT hosts.
