JazzTrax Guest
Mindi Abair with Fireworks!
For the JazzTrax 4th of July Weekend Show we asked Mindi Abair to drop by the JazzTrax Studio. She surprised us with a new recording by herself and her keyboardist Rodney Lee of'America The Beautiful.' Mindi will share stories of 4th of July as a kid, watching the fireworks on the beaches in her hometown of St. Petersburg,Florida. She'll tell of her recent vacation with her husband in Hana,The most isolated over and around the volcano spot in Maui, where Jason proposed to her 6 years ago. She'll give us a peak into what's planned for her next new CD in 2010.She's already writing with Jim Peterik (of Survivor and Rocky's 'Eye of the Tiger' theme), John Taylor of Duran Duran, and John Mayer's Guitarist. Nobody's more interesting than Mindi in conversation, including playing an NHL hockey national anthem as her reeds nearly froze standing on a block of ice and her upcoming October Unplugged appearance at the Wrigley Ranch on Catalina Island at the JazzTrax Festival My talk with Mindi airs across America this weekend, and is streaming right now at JazzTrax.com.

JazzTrax Debut
Four 80 East
Two guys from Toronto who named their late 90's new project after their studio's street address near the Blue Jays massive Sky Dome in Toronto: Four 80 East. Rob DeBoar and Tony Grace (streaming right now on JazzTrax Radio on-line), talk of the full plate of musical projects they work on daily there in Canada's Music Capital. From a pop culture TV show called 'Switch' to lots of Film and Television, including scoring a new Lionsgate Feature Film 'Death Warrior.' But mostly they talk of their Smooth Jazz Baby they do on the side, Four 80 East. Funny stories you can listen to right now include the hellish border crossing lady who makes things tough as they are increasingly being asked to perform at Smooth Jazz Festivals across the border in the U.S. ...and of their Coffee Lounge at Four80East.com.
Four 80 East and JazzTrax have been entwined since Art Good talked them out of only being an in 'studio project band,' to making their on-stage debut, and simultaneous U.S. Debut at the 2002 Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival. They tell the story of that lst trip to Avalon in their 2007 CD liner notes. They return this October for the 3rd time to the Smooth Jazz Island off the Southern California coast where their live shows first began seven years ago. Oh, and their new 'Roll On' being debuted right now on JazzTrax On Demand and across America this weekend before it's release next week! Themed to the Roller Rinks of our childhood where even Rob & Tony up in Canada would race around, chasing 'hot chicks'.

1995 Chris Botti
On this Weekend's JazzTrax Syndicated Radio Show (already streaming at JazzTrax.com), we relive the 1995 Solo Debut of Trumpeter Chris Botti. 14 years later he is now the No. l selling instrumentalist in our genre, surpassing now even the current sales of Kenny G. But even as he is now a World Touring International Cross-Over Superstar, recording with the likes of Josh Groban, Sting - with whom he toured for years and remains best friends - John Mayer, and more, in Spring '95 he was just a young session player, originally from Corvallis, Oregon, begging to have Smooth Jazz Radio play his tunes. We listen each hour this week off the 'First Wish' CD. |

1999 David Benoit
Professional Dreamer, the pairing of Smooth Jazz's premier veteran pianist and trumpeter/producer Rick Braun was remarkable. Six tracks were produced by Braun offering a unique contrast between thick, hip-hoppy bass grooves and Benoit's peppy, angst-free ivory musings. The collection includes "Rejoyce," "Jump Start," "Something You Said," "Miles After Dark." The four remaining tunes were produced by the pianist and longtime engineer Clark Germain are vintage. "Golden Gate" and "Dad's Room" (a sweeping film score like tribute to Benoit's ailing father) are simple and sweet, orchestrally enhanced piano reflections, while "Gothic Jazz Dance" combines Benoit's equal loves for pop, chamber music (the hypnotic piano flurries in the intro), and Brazilian rhythms |

This is our Audio Presentation on the Web of our Award Winning JazzTrax Radio Show, a weekly 5 hour presentation, now in its 17th year.". On the airwaves since l985, JazzTrax is Smooth Jazz Radio’s longest running syndicated program. It was created in San Diego by one of the founder’s of Smooth Jazz, Art Good. JazzTrax now keeps Studios in La Quinta in the Palm Springs Southern California Desert and in Big Bear Lake in the Southern California Mountains, site of it’s annual Summer JazzTrax Festival. Each week featuring just being released smooth jazz CD’s, with the artist who has the newest, joining Art as that week’s JazzTrax Guest. This is also the Radio Program that spawned the world reknowned Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival, now in its 15th year.
JazzTrax on the Web has just gone to a brand new source for Streaming. You will find the audio now a hundred times better. The very first time you log on, you’ll need to download the Media Player if you don't already have it. From then on it will download automatically when you press CLICK here to begin The Show.
Just like in the old days of FM radio, the quality also depends on how good your speakers are on your computer and perhaps on how good your high speed INTERNET access is. Some times of day when there is less traffic is better. As traffic on our site increases, we will be increasing our bandwidth to accommodate more and more listeners from around the world.
You can also listen on regular radio on any of our 40 plus radio affiliates across America if you are in their city. Check our affiliates list below for stations near you and show times.
