On New Year's Eve, NPR Music and WBGO present a live jazz broadcast from venues coast to coast. Wynton Marsalis, Julian Lage and Billy Childs are scheduled to perform; plus, hear concerts from Detroit, Washington, D.C. and the Newport Jazz Festival.

On New Year's Eve 2011-12, NPR Music, WGBH and WBGO once again present Toast of the Nation, an all-night broadcast of live jazz from venues across the U.S.

The broadcast checks in with live music from Boston to Los Angeles, and celebrates midnight in four U.S. time zones.
