Editor’s Note: Bo Leibowitz, who hosted the “Strictly Jazz” program on KCRW, died Monday at the age of 74. We remember Leibowitz by revisiting our DJ Session with him from last year.


Bo Leibowitz is DJ of the KCRW show “Strictly Jazz.” The name is pretty straightforward: For Leibowitz, it’s all about jazz and nothing else.

In this week’s Here & Now DJ Session, host Jeremy Hobson speaks with Leibowitz about some of the music he has been listening to, including singer Melody Gardot and archival tracks from Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
