In'celebration'of'bringing'jazz'to'Denver'for'30'years,'KUVO'is'teaming'up'with'the'Blair'Caldwell'Library'(located'at'24th'and'Welton)'in'Denver'to'create'an'exhibit'sure'to'take'jazz'lovers'down'a'musical'memory'lane!'

Since'its'very'first'record'dropped'on'August'29,'1985,'KUVO'89.3'Jazz'FM'has'proudly'been'offering'a'mix'of'jazz,'Latino'and'blues.'Located'in'a'studio'in'Denver’s'historic'Five'Points'neighborhood,'KUVO'has'established'a'go9to'hub'for'

KUVO's'history'will'be'on'display'at'the'Blair9Caldwell'Library'July'79'September'9,'2015'and'is'open'to'the'public.'

Music'Director'Arturo'Gómez,'who'spearheaded'the'project,'said'cataloging'the'station’s'colorful'history'was'like'entering'a'musical'time'capsule.'“It'struck'me'how'far'we'have'come'in'the'past'30'years,'from'humble'beginnings'fueled'mostly'by'inspiration'to'the'world9renowned'jazz'station'we'are'today.'I'couldn’t'be'prouder.”'

Florence'Hernández9Ramos,'KUVO’s'first'CEO,'says'she'thinks'the'station’s'growth'and'success'can'be'attributed'in'large'measure'to'music'lovers'who'tirelessly'offered'support'and'volunteered'their'time'to'keep'the'station'alive.'
