Willis Conover was an internationally-known jazz aficionado, who brought "America's music" to millions around the world for more than 40 years on VOA's airwaves.  Well-connected within the jazz community but little-known in the United States, he was particularly popular in the countries behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.  For more information, including downloadable photos, audio clips, and excerpts from other concerts, visit our Willis Conover page.
