Oscar Treadwell

Oscar Treadwell
Jazz with OT,
Sunday, 9-11 PM

Oscar Treadwell returned to the Cincinnati airwaves as the host of Jazz with OT in August, 2005. Everyone at Cincinnati Public Radio was thrilled and honored that the legendary Oscar Treadwell agreed to come out of retirement and work with us. In April, 2006, we were saddened by his sudden death. However, thanks to his family, Jazz with OT continues on as WVXU rebroadcasts his recorded shows.

OT's career as a radio personality began in 1947 at WEEU in Reading, PA. From there he moved to stations in Camden, NJ and Philadelphia. His concentration in jazz led to friendships with many jazz luminaries including Dave Brubeck, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, many of whom immortalized him in music. First came Wardell Grey's "Treadin with Treadwell." Then, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie created "An Oscar for Treadwell" in honor of their friend. Thelonious Monk followed suit with "Oska T."

OT moved to Cincinnati in 1960, joining WZIP in 1962, WNOP in 1965, then to WGUC in 1973, where he was a jazz host for 22 years before moving to WVXU in 1995. Programs at WAVE and WMKV followed until his retirement in June 2001.
