This week’s show introduces our “live”broadcast. This means we are originating our show locally and relaying it to the web.

You will hear the show with no commercials, even if you don’t have a VIP account.

This week, we mostly feature new releases with a bit of historical recording dates thrown in for good measure.

My pick for cd of the year thus far is Marilyn Scott’s new cd-Everytime We Say Goodbye. She has always impressed me but this one is a “knockout”.

I am always partial to music from the Duke but New York. New York has all gems that have never been released before now-thanks to my good friend-Bjarne Busk for sharing his collection with us all.

Another new release, which is of special importance is Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra musical Tribute to Harriet Tubman-a true hero in American history.

These & many others prove that Jazz is alive & well.

Join our new FM radio show which streams live every Friday night 10 pm-1 am cdt on CLASSIC99.COM & our 2nd television segment also streams 24/7 at HECTV.ORG

For your information, our website was down over the weekend, due to technical difficulties with our web hosting provider. All is well now. Thanks for your patience.
