From the recording Beats, Jazz, etc.
Genre: contemporary jazz
This one is more like a podcast than a DJ mix…
Back in the day, before “smooth jazz” was dominating the airwaves in Detroit – we had WJZZ. Soulful, funky flavors of jazz that didn’t necessarily fit into a nice, neat corporate niche had a voice on the airwaves. Today, it’s either “smooth jazz" or “traditional jazz” on Detroit radio.
This mix is dedicated to those of us who miss that unique flavor you only hear on independent, local stations like WJZZ… Press play, sit back and enjoy a 2-hour commercial-free set :-)
p.s. by all means, head over to eMusic, iTunes or wherever you buy music and support these artists.
