Hey dudes and dudettes, hope you guys have been fun at the recent jazz festivals and showcases that’s been going on. Do tune in tonight because we got LOtSa funky-groovy-hip-hoppin’-to-the-swing boppin’ or should I say “hip-boppin’-to-the-swing-hopin’” tunes to tickle your ears! I’m talkin’ about some new Incognito & Spryo Gyra stuff I got in my hands. As usual, we’ll be bringing you GIC, Gigs-In-daCity which is an update about live jazz gigs happening around & out of town, some jazz news, and an artist feature on fantastic pianist Geri Allen. Woot! I can’t wait. Do call us if you have song requests (JAZZ ONLY), comments, suggestions, or questions,. Our sms hotline is 32270. We’ll be waiting to hear from you!

Yup, I know it’s been eons ago since anyone posted anything new. Let’s just hope we’ll get into the trend of blogging habitually. Anyway, first things first! Tonight’s show featured the Miri Jazz part 2 with Jezza’s recorded interview with KCP4. Do check in for next week’s Part 3 interview with, and songs by Orak Naa Naa and George Washing Machine Quartet.
