For years, music-makers and music-lovers have relied on NPR to bring them the best. Insightful interviews with top musicians, performances by remarkable new artists, and legendary recordings. We know you're interested in what NPR has to say about music because we hear from you. So we put together a series of music compilations made especially for the NPR listener. I heard it on NPR captures the signature NPR music experience by bringing together an inspired mix of artists and songs that have been featured on NPR programs. We've mixed old standards with newer music and artists we think you might like to meet.

Jazz for Blue Nights, the series debut, unites jazz legends Sarah Vaughan and Miles Davis with current jazz masters such as Cassandra Wilson and Bill Charlap in a compilation of soulful jazz ballads. Jazz for Blue Nights is a tribute to jazz music and the musicians who celebrate this distinctly American art form.
