ContemporaryJazz.com Radio is dedicated to modern styles of jazz. It covers everything from acid jazz and nu jazz (nujazz, nu-jazz?) to remixed jazz and jazzy house. Check out some of my favorite recordings below to get an idea of what I'm interested and what I will be sharing with you. |

Liquid Soul
A mighty band that blew me away at a Blues and Jazz Festival a few years ago.
Jamiroquai
Love their earlier, more jazzy efforts.
Incognito
Consistently good soul-funk-jazz for over a decade. Go, Bluey!
Stevie Wonder
One of a handful of musicians that can be legitimately called a Living Legend!
Solsonics

Jazz in the Present Tense
The only album by this amazing group of musicians. A tight band, great music, good in every way.

Journey Inwards
It's hypnotic! Drum'n'bass with heavy jazz touches. It's irresistible.
Masters at Work

Nuyorican Soul
Though there isn't a bad track on this recording by MAW, I have their take on Bob James' "Nautilus (MAWtilus)" as one of my five-star songs on my iPod. The other is what I think is the best George Benson performance ever - "You Can Do It (Baby)!"
Jamiroquai

Emergency on Planet Earth
I'm really into the acid jazz vibe heard on the first three Jamiroquai recordings. So many good songs...

Verve//Remixed
I love jazz remixes. This first Verve compilation is my favorite. They're all hit and miss, but this one had more hits.

All About Jazz
Mike's site came online about the same time mine did and he really made it the top jazz site on the Web.
