Mark Dove's Blurbs |
About me:
Mark Dove is the host of “Sounds of Jazz” which broadcasts from Gainesville, Ga on Brenau University’s Eclectic 89.1 WBCX “Straight Ahead Saturday Nights” from 6PM to midnight. He also is the host of “Café Jazz” which focuses on jazz vocalists and stylists. “Café Jazz” airs Mondays from 6PM to 8PM. He recently became a member of SOJA’s advisory board and also serves on the jazz committee board of the Gainesville Ga Arts Council.
Mark is a lifelong resident of the Hall County area and began his music fetish at a very early age. He was exposed to the music of Ray Charles, Little Richard, Fats Domino through his parents and loved Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts scores as a kid. His parents bought him a record player one fateful Christmas morning and that set off a fascination with music and recordings that continue to this day. His record collection has grown to around 5,000 to 7,000 titles – LPs and CDs – about half being jazz.
About 5 or 6 years ago he finally found an outlet for his jazz interests when WBCX station manager Scott Fugate took him on as the host of the “Sounds of Jazz” show on the “Straight Ahead Saturday Night” daypart and he’s been “in the airchair” on Saturday nights ever since.
He’s since had the pleasure to talk not only to some of Atlanta’s finest jazz talent on his show but he’s interviewed the likes of Kurt Elling, Janis Siegel, Tierney Sutton, Charles Lloyd, Maria Schneider, Lynne Arriale, and Bill Charlap.
Mark’s previous radio station experience has been stints at WMLB AM 1170 in Cumming and Oldies Lake 102 in Buford.
Yes, jazz does exist on the airwaves outside of Atlanta so the next time you’re in Northeast Georgia on a Saturday night – listen to Northeast Georgia’s King of Swing as he “puts the jazz back into jazz” on Eclectic 89.1.
You won’t be sorry!
