Your Brooklyn Bluesman friend is certainly eclectic in his musical tastes. Don’t really cover much jazz in my Getting a Leg Up podcasts. Not because I don’t love tons of it(I do) just because I feel I need to maintain some kind of boundaries to keep me from flying off into the vortex(or some such pseudo-sci fi babble -:) )

I recently searched for streaming jazz stations and came up with a gem: KJZZ. They feature mostly mainstream or traditional jazz as opposed to the more contemporary or “lite jazz” and some solid blues programming on the weekend. Signal strength and clarity is excellent. My 2 favorite DJs are Jose Rizo: awesome Latin jazz program, and Bob Parlocha: great variety of jazz from across the spectrum.

PS: yes Virginia, they are playing some nice Christmas jazz mixed in without being totally obnoxious or smarmy.
