This is not a commercial endeavor. I just had to find a way to personally share to the world the music I love and with the wonders of technology I am able to freely stream jazz music across the Internet. I'm broadcasting from my PC server at home and with my available bandwidth I could fit in 20 listeners simultaneously. I have made various playlists of the thousands of jazz MP3s in my 500 gig external hard disk and, of course, play them all for your listening pleasure. Aside from the obligatory sleep (for an insomniac like me that's just a few hours) and the times when I have to go outdoors to indulge my other passion which is photography, I will endeavor to keep the station up and running for most of the time.
So do tune in and enjoy the jazz experience! Thanks!

Jazz washes away the dust of every day life. ~ Art Blakey
A Passion for Jazz
Two passions fill my free time: photography and jazz music. I maintain around seven blogs and sites relating to photography which I came to enjoy six years ago when I had my first digital camera. Jazz music, however, has been a personal fave and delight for more than half of my life, starting with my college days when I bought my first jazz album on cassette tape (CDs then cost like gold) - Dave Grusin's Mountain Dance. From that first, my cassette tape collection of jazz artists grew to 600 pieces, which I still keep and cherish until now. A separate collection of jazz CDs and MP3s amassed in recent years is another story. In short, this blog is an integral part of my passion for jazz where I get to collect online the tunes that I grew up with, listen again to the classics that were so hard to find then but are now just a "search" away, rediscover the artists whose creations have provided me years of musical enjoyment, and expose myself to the amazing new breed of jazz talents. Though I have learned to play just a note or two, I have however fully developed an appreciation and discernment of an ideal musical form which I humbly share with you through this blog. Be with me in this jazz journey.
Unless your PC is connected to your home theater system, as in my case, then you're missing out on fully enjoying the music in this blog. As some of you may know, the player you click to listen to the music (either blue or orange rectangular boxes below each artist's posted album image), is a compressed music code that churns out music at low fidelity, sometimes sampled only at 64kbps, as against the CD-quality of 128kbps and above. Assuming you have a stable and fast internet connection free of lags and crashes, you have to compensate in some other areas to enjoy a rich listening experience, and one of the crucial components are the speakers. My PC is wired to a Pioneer 5.1 receiver which is the nerve center of my HT system which powers 600 watts of surround sound. Without this kind of setup, it is wise to invest in a reliable and dependable PC speaker system which can faithfully reproduce music even in its less than pristine form. However, 6 speakers (5.1 system) may be too much of a clutter for most desktop lay-out and a decent 2.1 (left, right speakers, 1 sub) stereo system would be enough for many. But if your PC is also your media entertainment center and would like the whole surround sound shebang, then by all means go for it. Just remember that you would need a 5.1 analog output from your PC soundcard connected to the 5.1 inputs of your receiver to realize surround sound. Then again we're talking music listening here and the best for that is still the good ol' stereo with a sub unit to carry those low frequencies - the Hammond organ of James Taylor Quartet, the bass slaps of Stanley Clarke and those thunderous drums of Dave Weckl - well, you know what I mean.
