JazzTrax Guest
Swimming with Jesse J
 
Joining Art in the JazzTrax Studio this week...young Sax Splash Jessy J, who here in August, has come with a 2nd solo project 'True Love". Jessy says is not a guy, nor a dog, but her love of her music. 'True Love' is her follow-up to the smash 'Tequila Moon' which rode her to No. l on the charts and gained her JazzTrax 2008 Debut Artist of the Year honors.  But the splash will be taken further as Jessy tells of her passion of Swimming and how she found pools and oceans all over the place to swim in Europe, touring for a third straight summer with Michael Bolton.  And she'll remember her first trip to the Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival in 1994. While Jessy was still in Middle School in Hemet, California, the young saxophonists Mom told her and her sister they were going to an Island... and a Jazz Festival... and now this October,  she herself headlines there on the Avalon Ballroom marquee for a 4th straight Fall.
   
   
Archive Album
2000 George Benson 'Absolute Benson'
 
This Week Art Good pulls a Benson classic from the 2000 JazzTrax Archives. Naming it 'Absolute Benson' sounded like it was to be a George Benson Best Of Album, and George laughed 9 years ago when Art mentioned that to him as they debutted it from the JazzTrax Studio.  However it was all brand new songs. But where the audience - and especially the record company - missed the boat was in calling it just a Benson album... when what it really was, was a George Benson - Joe Sample Collaboration.  Much of the project was written together by George and Joe. First time we think and only time, they ever collaborated and what a classic match-up.   And much of the project is the combination of Benson's Guitar to Joe's Fingers on the Keys.  Classic and you'll hear a track each hour on the show already published on-line. Listen Right Now.

Art's got the forthcoming George Benson, Najee, Jeff Golub, even listens into September to the forthcoming Peter White and Greg Adams East Bay Soul.

How to Hear JazzTrax
JazzTrax On Demand
The Award-Winning JazzTrax Radio Show, a weekly 5 hour presentation. 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 near Palm Springs in the Southern California desert and in Big Bear Lake in Southern California's San Bernardino Mountains.
 
Each week JazzTrax features 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 renowned Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival, now in its 23rd 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 be just a single click 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.

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 for stations and show times near you.
We are also working on making JazzTrax available on your iPhone or other Handheld Device, stay tuned for details!
