I enjoy JAZZ, R&B, Zydeco, Gospel, Classical, and Funk.
I was born and raised in New Orleans, the Northern most Caribbean City, where all styles of music thrive.
I began my career in radio at WWOZ-FM, New Orleans as a morning drive-time announcer. The opportunity to host a segment of the popular 'JAZZ FROM THE PARK' series opened and provided prime time exposure.
I graduated from Tulane University in 1996 and relocated to Philadelphia. I immediately became involved with WRTI-FM, Temple University Public Radio and immersed myself into the Philadelphia Jazz scene.
I host a total of 11 hours of JAZZ each week -
Friday,6PM-10PM EDT - Jazz w/Jeff Duperon
Saturday,6PM-9PM EDT - "Straight Ahead"
Sunday, 8PM-12Midnight EDT - "The Historical Approach to the Positive Music"

A little bit of 'SOMETHING OLD'
A lot of 'SOMETHING NEW'
'SOMETHING BORROWED' and
'SOMETHING BLUE'...of REAL JAZZ
