High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Voice of America Jazz Hour was broadcast on Voice of America beginning on January 6, 1955 and through 2003; it was then folded into Voice of America Music Mix's program Jazz America. It began broadcasting in 1955, hosted by Willis Conover; in its current form, it is hosted by Russ Davis. It was commissioned after Duke Ellington's tour of the Soviet Union in 1954, and began broadcasting in 1955 over the initial objections of Congress. The theme song of the program was Ellington's Take the A Train. At its height, the Voice of America Jazz Hour was listened to by up to 30 million people, almost none of them in the United States[3], as Voice of America was prohibited from broadcasting in the United States by the Smith-Mundt Act.
