Coming this February: KSDS Celebrates Black History Month 2025

Each weekday at noon Pacific during Black History Month, we'll revisit the music and musicians that animated landmark moments of the Civil Rights Movement.

By Matt Silver

We at KSDS Jazz 88.3 are always, just by the very nature of our jobs, celebrating Black history — at least implicitly. But as one of the few remaining radio stations devoted entirely to presenting jazz and blues, we have a special responsibility, especially during Black History Month, to illuminate the central role Black artists have played in the creation, development, and continued evolution of the music we champion here every day.
