Jazz with Tony Mowod

Tony Mowod, Executive Producer/Jazz, at WDUQ in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is also the President and Founder of the Pittsburgh Jazz Society, and has been one of Pittsburgh's most enduring champions of jazz for more than four decades. Even as a teenager, Tony dazzled by the tremendous number of jazz greats from his native Pittsburgh, responded to them not only as a fan does, but as a young musician himself. (The vibraphone was his instrument of choice after studying classical piano as a youngster.) While attending Duquesne University, Tony embarked on his broadcasting career at WDUQ. Since then, he has been associated with WAZZ, WTAE, WKPA, WYDD, WAMO, and finally, coming full circle back "home" to WDUQ. He now serves on the board of the American Federation of Jazz Societies. Tony has also been involved in theater. Appearing off-Broadway and on television, as well as local pursuits in professional summer stock, the Pittsburgh Playhouse, Pittsburgh Children's Theater, and Duquesne University's Red Masquers, among others.
