Independent Jazz Artists

Tonights show features some great independent Jazz artists. These are Jazz musicians, that do not have recording contracts with record labels. Although they may be deserving, the sorry state of the music industry is such that Jazz is being ignored by the major labels. These are great musicians that are left to promote their music the hard way. One way is to seek out Jazz DJ's, contact them by email, send out CD's and ask that they be given some air time. If you like what you hear tonight, seek out their CD's and support these great musicians. I welcome such Jazz musicians to submit their work to me, and if it fits the show, I will continue to feature independent Jazz musicians in future shows.
