The longtime host of the Tim Coakley Jazz Show is celebrating 35 years on the air at WAMC.
Coakley, now 84, began hosting the show in 1987 and remains a part of the local music scene as a drummer and president emeritus of the Schenectady-based A Place for Jazz.
Today at The Linda in Albany, an anniversary celebration of his weekly Saturday night show is free and open to the public.
Set to begin at 1:30, the live recording session will include the Skip Parsons Memorial Band – featuring Coakley — and the Peg Delaney Quartet featuring Colleen Pratt.
A jam session with local musicians will close the show.
WAMC's Lucas Willard spoke with Tim last week about the concert and his 35 years at the station.
