streaming jazz
mikey at dirtsmoke pulled my coat to kkjz 88.1 fm out of long beach, cali. pretty cool streaming jazz station (check out their "88 greats" list), or at least a big improvement over most of what passes for jazz radio programming these days. i mean, unt's kntu 88.1 fm is cool, but you get the feeling sometimes that the on-air kids don't really know their music that well, and don't control their playlist. far cry from what dennis gonzalez usedta do over at dallas' npr affiliate kera 90.1 fm. (don't get me started on "the oasis.")
sure, these cali ppl might have just played a big-band version of "a day in the life," but at least i haven't heard the bad plus doing nirvana. not yet, anyway.

Why would the radio station for UNT be kntu??????
because they're cowards?
i'd suggest trying KNON-89.3 after midnight. me, driving home from closing shifts at the biblioteca, can be a very uplifted me when the jazz dj is spinning crackly-scratchy vinyl from the days of bebop and up. and they are ever-so-thankful when you call up their lonely music-loving souls during pledge drive and make a request...even if you never manage the money to send the check....
