Happy new year! And may 2026 bring more arts and culture to your life throughout the seasons.

We're launching Season 2 next week, so please enjoy this rebroadcast of one of our first episodes! This episode is a celebration worthy of a new year.

What are the tunes that make you wanna get up and dance? Well for the last hundred years, American popular music has been getting people out of their seats and onto their feet with hot jazz and sweet dance music that’s impossible to ignore. And Clark County happens to be home to the guy that’s making sure this incredible music lasts for the next 100 years. Let's visit the Historic Music Preservation Project and Ne Plus Ultra Jass Orchestra.
