H. Johnson honors jazz icon Tony Bennett and is also being honored at National Black Radio Hall of Fame

H. Johnson. (WABE)

WABE’s H. Johnson has been a fixture on our station since 1978. As host of both “Blues Classics” and “Jazz Classics,” H. continually educates and entertains WABE listeners every Friday and Saturday night.

H. joins “City Lights” every other Friday to share a bit from his breadth of jazz knowledge. The segment “H. Johnson’s Jazz Moment” explores selections from the best of H.’s music collection, along with tidbits from history, personal reflections and his thoughts on the evergreen resonance of jazz. 

In this segment, H. Johnson featured the incomparable Tony Bennett and Bill Evans performing “We’ll Be Together Again.” Tony Bennett recently passed away in July 2023. 



Catch H’s Blues Classics show tonight and every Friday beginning at 10 pm and then return for Jazz Classics every Saturday night beginning at 8 pm, right here on 90.1 WABE.

Special Note: Team City Lights would like to congratulate H. Johnson on being awarded the Presidential Service Volunteer Award at the National Black Radio Hall of Fame ceremony tomorrow, Oct. 7! Congratulations H!
