Vern Selland has been hosting KFSR's "Jazz Beat" since 2009.  He likes to refer to himself as, "The oldest living jazz DJ in the world" and he may be right, but we can't confirm the fact.  His passion is straight-ahead jazz and he plays everything from Be-Bob and beyond.  Between songs, he shares his vast knowledge of jazz and personal experiences with some of the genre's biggest artists.

Vern has loved big band music since he was a young boy and dreamed of being a big band vocalist. After he retired from his "real job" he served as a vocalist for Fresno's Statesman Big Band.  It was a natural transition for him to launch a radio show on KFSR.  Do yourself a favor and tune in Wednesdays at noon for "Jazz Beat" with Vern Selland.

Join me on Saturdays for The Garden Party on KFSR!  I think I stir up a good gumbo of music. There’s new stuff and old stuff - there’s a veritable gardener’s cornucopia of fun and entertaining music every week.  I hope you’ll tune in to 90.7 FM or catch the live stream at kfsr.org.

I’ve always had a love for radio.  As a young child, my parents took me on long road trips to my Grandparent's house.  Many nights were filled with the radio on some old-school detective drama and the dim glow of the dashboard lights.  Radio opened my mind to so many possibilities and ideas.

I’m also a proud Fresno State graduate.  By great fortune I’ve made some great friends and I have this opportunity to entertain you with my musical musings!
