Hot-Live-Radio - my independent internet radio station. The dream becomes true, after more than 30 years in music, marketing and design business. Together with my friends we arranged 24 hours non stop a unique blend of contempory jazz, smooth jazz, wave, new age, cool vocals and "chill" music
Favorite Artists
Acoustic Alchemy
The British guitar duo celebrates two full decades of smooth jazz perfection with a collection that eliminates some of the production razzmatazz of recent efforts and gets back to the magical interplay of nylon- and steel-string guitars.
Rick Braun
Braun's success in smooth jazz is due not only to his phenomenal trumpeting and picture-perfect melodies and grooves. There's always a commitment to new styles and adventures each time out, and the mix is irresistible.
Jeff Lorber
With a smooth sound bringing together elements of funk, R&B, rock and electric jazz, keyboardist Jeff Lorber helped pioneer a genre of fusion later formatted under such names as NAC and Contemporary Jazz.
Standing in the Shadows of Motown
You can't run away from the Motown sound because every 15 minutes somewhere in the planet someone is playing something that they did.
Joyce Cooling
Her sound isn't especially original - but her writing is inventive and hooky and her playing is expert and stylish.

Esperanto
Rick Braun is one of the rare artists that entertain you throughout the whole C.D. and not just for two or three songs.
Special EFX

Masterpiece
If you love good music, you'll love this CD. It delivers more smooth, worldly jazz. Chieli Minucci produced the album and is also featured on guitar, highlighting the Latin and African-tinged compositions with his technical skill.

One Quiet Night
Pat Metheny by himself with an acoustic guitar. Featuring a nice afterglow interpretation of Norah Jones' hit "Don't Know Why". If you haven't bought it, please go get it.
Larry Carlton

Fingerprints
Guitarist Larry Carlton has long been one of the mainstays of smooth jazz. His playing is as precise, mellifluous, and melodically inclined as ever. Larry Carlton found a new voice through the guitar, and it shines here on Fingerprints.
Chuck Loeb
