Jeff Bressler

Jeff Bressler is a 35-year veteran of the radio industry. He has broadcast NASCAR racing, spent ten years as the Director and on-air anchor of Motor Trend Radio, and twenty years as the past news and motorsports anchor of Auto World Radio.

Jeff did fill-in work for music radio stations in the New York metropolitan area.

Jeff Bressler was an avid listener as a youth to the William B. Williams version of the Make Believe Ballroom broadcast over WNEW 1130 AM in New York.

​Bressler recently commented, "After a 35-year radio career, I still cannot believe that I was asked to fill the shoes of past Make Believe Ballroom hosts, including one of my broadcast idols, William B. Williams, to carry on the traditions of this excellent program. The show had been almost continuously broadcast for the past 88 years. Hosting such an iconic program comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility.

I am highly gratified that over 50 public, university, and community radio stations play the show each week. I am also delighted that, through podcast versions, the show is heard by thousands more each week.

I hope to keep the show going strong to its 100th Anniversary and beyond. In my estimation, the 1930s and 1940s were the golden age of American music, laying the foundation for the Great American Songbook. This music must continue to be played for generations to come."

Jeff also has a new book out, titled Big Band Vignettes, that takes a lighthearted look at some big band personalities of the 1930s and 1940s. It is available on Amazon and Kindle.
