SMOOTH JAZZ AND MORE CELEBRATES JAZZ APPRECIATION MONTH!

Every year in April, our internet radio station celebrates the heritage of the genre that was founded over two centuries ago...jazz.

From it's origins in the African-American communities of New Orleans, to the many different styles, including ragtime, dixieland, swing, big babd, bebop, free/avant garde, the blues, fusion, acid, and of course, smooth.

We're joining the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. in celebration an original art form.

This year, The Smithsonian celebrates the 125th anniversary of one of the twentieth century's greatest artists, Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington.

From the Smithsonian website:

Born on April 29, 1899, in Washington, D.C., Duke’s early exposure to music came from his parents, Daisy Ellington and James Edward Ellington, who were both pianists. His exposure, parental support and private piano lessons provided a critical foundation in his early development as a pianist and musician. Duke Ellington composed dynamic music throughout his lifetime that inspired vivid visual imagery and emotion. Combining his unconventional orchestration technique with the unique talent of his individual orchestra members, Ellington was able to transpose everyday life into musical works of art.

To mark what would have been his 125th year, the museum will be featuring Duke Ellington on this year’s Jazz Appreciation Month poster through the evocative and colorful painting from LeRoy Neiman.

Hollywood House, the long-awaited novel by internet radio producer, Mike James was released in 2021 and is based on his life as a teen during Hip-Hop's early days.

It's the story of two teenagers. One, a shy new kid on the block. The other, a basketball jock and a rapper emcee.  Both of these kids are growing up in a racially charged world, and they have high-hopes of making it big in an underground music genre that will be later known as “hip-hop”.  

“Hollywood House” will resonate with anyone who had a dream in high school and made a naïve attempt at making it happen.
