KUER Jazz Staff
We're happy to be home to some of the most knowledgeable jazz hosts in the business...
Steve Williams in the studio Steve "Daddy-O" Williams, Jazz Director / Host
Born in Manhattan at the end of WWII to a big band Dad and a dancer Mom, Steve was pretty much sentenced to a life of music. His father's woodwinds were all around, and Steve picked up the clarinet and saxophone. He studied music at the University of Utah, and loves playing with small groups. He got his start in radio in 1979, here at KUER, and became Jazz Director in 1984. He loves the opportunities he has to meet the people and artists in jazz. To relax, he likes to travel, taking in jazz festivals and conferences around the country and motoring around Utah and beyond in his beloved Volkswagen Westfalia.

Chuck Waagen, Weekend Jazz Host
Chuck Waagen is a native Salt Laker whose chief interests include film, literature, and the arts. Employed at KUER since 1985, he admits to being dragged kicking and screaming into radio while pursuing a telecommunications degree from the University of Utah. "I never dreamed I'd be in radio," he reflects. "But now that I'm here, I love it. And as Miles Davis has been heard to say, 'There are no accidents.'"
     Chuck loves all types of music, and is especially happy about the expanding jazz scene in Utah, which, he says, "is growing even as I speak."
