The Cambridge Jazz Festival is excited to announce that Eric Jackson, host of Boston radio’s best known jazz program “Eric in the Evening,” will be one of several hosts introducing artists at the 2014 Cambridge Jazz Festival.

“We could not have chosen a better master of ceremonies,” said the Festival’s executive producer Larry Ward. “No one knows as much about jazz as Eric. His radio show celebrates the extraordinary history of jazz and has also introduced so many great new artists to listeners. Eric really has been the voice of jazz in Greater Boston.”

Eric in the Evening” airs on 89.7 WGBH Friday through Sunday, 9pm to 12 midnight and features the best jazz, in-depth looks at great artists and live interviews from the WGBH studios. Jackson also hosts live broadcasts from Scullers, Boston’s number one jazz club.

Other hosts and artists have not yet been announced. For the latest updates, please visit the Festival’s website or subscribe to the Festival’s newsletter.
