In this episode of the Bright Moments podcast, we embark on a nostalgic journey back to the summer of 1987 with the legendary Dorthaan Kirk. Broadcasting from the WBGO studios at 54 Wayne Shorter Way, Dorthaan shares her memories and insights as we explore the humble beginnings of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Discover how a small group of dedicated visionaries, including Alina Bloomgarden, Wynton Marsalis, and Dorthaan Kirk herself, laid the foundation for a cultural cornerstone that would transform the jazz scene in New York City. Tune in to celebrate the passion, dedication, and transformative power of music that shaped the early days of Jazz at Lincoln Center, and how it continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.  Visit WBGO for more 1987 Classical Jazz at Lincoln Center | WBGOHost: Dorthaan KirkHosted and Produced by Jamara WakefieldProduced by Billy RobinsonEdited by Corey GoldbergSpecial thanks to Becca Pulliam and Doug Doyle
