On New Year’s Eve 2012-13, NPR Music, WGBH and WBGO once again present Toast of the Nation, an all-night broadcast of live jazz from venues across the U.S. Live listening is available at WBGO.org/toast, or on your local public radio station.
The broadcast features live performances from Boston to Monterey, and celebrates midnight in four U.S. time zones. The live performances were recorded and will be archived at NPR Music, via nprmusic.org/toastofthenation. WBGO’s Rhonda Hamilton anchored the broadcast, with additional voices along the way.
