Just Jazz
Branda's Italian Grill Sinatra Hour

Bob Bernotas has been the host of Just Jazz on WNTI since November 2004. Bob, who lives in Brooklyn, NY, is a jazz journalist, historian, and lecturer. His profiles, interviews, and reviews have appeared in numerous print and Internet publications. He also is the author of Top Brass: Interviews and Master Classes with Jazz's Leading Brass Players and Reed All About It: Interviews and Master Classes with Jazz's Leading Reed Players (Boptism Music Publishing), and Branford Marsalis: Jazz Musician (Enslow Publishers), and has written liner notes for over fifty jazz CDs.

Every Sunday night on Just Jazz Bob presents five hours of the traditional, modern, avant-garde, and Latin sounds of jazz. Each program includes an hour-long Just Jazz Presents... segment, which showcases a particular instrumentalist, singer, composer, or style. Another regular feature of Just Jazz is the "Artist of the Month," a jazz master profiled by Bob and spotlighted during the entire month of programs.

Additionally, Bob now hosts "Branda's Italian Grill Sinatra Hour."
