  • Canadiana Suite

    A radio pro­gram with a pri­ma­ry focus on high­light­ing Cana­di­an jazz artists.

  • Chops Talks

    In the lead-up to the 2022 TD Win­nipeg Inter­na­tion­al Jazz Fes­ti­val, let some of UMFM’s pro­gram­mers intro­duce you to per­form­ers com­ing to town.

  • Deep Threes

    Deep Threes is the week­ly radio show that brings you eclec­tic instru­men­tal sound­scapes that fuse jazz, elec­tron­i­ca, sound­tracks, mod­ern clas­si­cal, exper­i­men­tal music, and more into extend­ed mix­es. At the heart of this process is the music. The syn­er­gy of math and physics, mechan­ics and elec­tron­ics, infused with the human spir­it, ris­ing up in a riv­er of feel­ings along­side all the glis­ten­ing gems we found along the way.

  • Expansive Prairie Skies

    Expan­sive Prairie Skies draws inspi­ra­tion from the wide open vis­tas that sur­round Win­nipeg.
    It’s the oppo­site of feel­ing hemmed in.
    It’s the sound­track to a late night dri­ve beneath a boun­ty of con­stel­la­tions.
    Con­tem­po­rary clas­si­cal and actu­al clas­si­cal.
    Avant-garde and musique con­crete.
    Noise and ambi­ent music.
    Jazz and more jazz.
    The host pro­vides the son­ic stratos­phere,
    the music does the talk­ing, you do the dreaming.

  • Fascinatin' Rhythm

    This jazz show from 10:00 until noon every Sun­day is designed to enlight­en and pro­voke thought about the music and artists by offer­ing themes most weeks, from trib­ute to artists, to such top­ics as the evo­lu­tion of a giv­en instru­ment, to com­posers vs arrangers, artists who died pre­ma­ture­ly, to sea­son­al songs (ie. tunes about a giv­en sea­son), to jazz in the cin­e­ma, etc. Guests are always wel­come to pro­mote their music or concerts.…Rare records are uti­lized, as well as cds from Ray’s vast col­lec­tion from years of col­lect­ing. Some might say, the pro­gram is an attempt to re-vital­ize jour­nal­ism in music. I have often thought about a show about music, with­out actu­al­ly using it!

  • Full Moon Hacksaw

    Tasty Jazz, Blues, Rock­a­bil­ly, Orig­i­nals & 60s Music. A week­ly pro­gram spot­light­ing clas­sic and mod­ern jazz and blues.

  • Modern Jazz Today

    Our pas­sion is to broad­cast the jazz good news. The joy of cre­at­ing, the voice of jazz, the sto­ries of today that are reflect­ed in the his­to­ry of yes­ter­year, but a deep­er reflec­tion of the land­scape of today’s sound. We have been pre­sen­ters of jazz, in many forms but still dis­tilled into the same mes­sage JAZZ. We will take this pas­sion and life’s work and imple­ment it into what we hope to become you pas­sion as well. Join us, grow with us and explore your pas­sion today..

    Our vision: ​“To cre­ate a pro­gram that will inform and inspire lis­ten­ers by focus­ing on today’s jazz impro­vi­sa­tion­al mak­ers, standard’s arrangers and orig­i­nal composers.”
