In Memoriam: Edward Beach

The Music Division was saddened to learn that legendary jazz broadcaster Edward Beach passed awayon Christmas Day.  Beach was the host of “Just Jazz,” a radio program which ran in New York City from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s.  The Library of Congress is home to the Edward Beach Collection, which consists of his broadcast tapes as well  as photographs of jazz musicians.  We would like to imagine that The Big Radio Station in the Sky is swinging a little harder tonight.
