Due to high winds and fire danger, transmitters are operating at reduced power and reception may be affected through the weekend. Thank you for your understanding and support! You can listen online and on the KUVO app.

For our Summit County Listeners: The KVJZ 91.7FM transmitter site on Bald Mountain experienced a catastrophic power line failure. Because of the high elevation and winter conditions, repairs won’t be possible until next summer. Stream KUVO JAZZ on our website, the app, or your smart speaker.

Live & Local: Mistura Fina's Frank Ayala

Frank Ayala of Mistura Fina

Denver percussionist Frank Ayala’s roots go deep in Denver. His branches reach around the world through his band ventures over the years.

He played various percussion instruments with the band Bridges in the 1990s. His current band, Mistura Fina (“fine mixture” in Spanish), celebrates 25 years with a set on September 17 at Dazzle.
