As Jazz 91.9 WCLK enters a new fiscal year this month, we are thankful and grateful that we get to welcome new and renewing members to the Jazz 91.9 WCLK family. Thank you for your financial support during the Fiscal Year End Membership Campaign. It is with the broad spectrum of support from members, businesses, community stakeholders and our licensee, Clark Atlanta University, that Jazz 91.9 WCLK is not only able to survive during times like this, but also to thrive. Members are a vital component of the organizational structure of WCLK and you help to fulfill our mission in a variety of ways by providing advocacy, awareness, advancement and generous support. During these unprecedented times, where we all have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in some way or another, we are grateful that Jazz 91.9 WCLK has remained unwavering in its commitment to high quality broadcasting services and, continues to serve listeners in Greater Atlanta and around the world. Like many businesses and organizations WCLK has had to restructure, modify and curtail its major business practices including fundraising. But we hold steadfast to the tradition of member supported public radio, the unique Jazz service that we provide and our mission to uplift, educate and inform the listening audience with a program service that enriches lives and communities. With your continued and unyielding support, WCLK is poised to forge ahead into what we hope and pray will be a brighter Fiscal Year ‘21 for all. Thank you for helping to insure Jazz 91.9 WCLK continues as a community service for years to come.

A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Joe Alterman studied music at New York University, where he received both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Jazz Piano Performance. In addition to performances with Houston Person, Les McCann and his own trio, among others, Alterman has performed at many world renowned venues including the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Birdland and New York’s Blue Note, where Alterman has opened, many times, for Ramsey Lewis. 30 years old, Alterman has released four critically-acclaimed albums, his most recent being 2018’s “More Cornbread.” He was profiled three times by iconic journalist Nat Hentoff and was the subject of Hentoff’s very last piece on music in March 2016. Dick Cavett has referred to Alterman as “one fine, first class entertainer” and Ramsey Lewis has called Alterman “an inspiration to me” and his piano playing “a joy to behold.” "Joe Alterman is a young, creative, energetic pianist I really like musically and personally - he does not have a negative bone in his body and plays the you-know-what out of the piano! Although much younger than I, he is an inspiration to me! His piano playing, his will to explore and his ability to swing is a joy to behold. God bless him!" - Ramsey Lewis More information about Joe Alterman: https://www.joealtermanmusic.com/.
