First Podcast for 2013

 

Happy New Year to all! Hope you had a good holiday season - mine was splendid. Quiet at home, just the way I dig it. Lots of new jazz acquisitions, a turntable, new walking shoes and an always bright outlook. Jazz album sales were up 23% in 2011. Can't wait to see how 2012 did! Above is the latest Palm Coast Jazz podcast that I produce & co-host. Variety and stellar performances by familiar names and names you will want to know more about. Hope you enjoy it!  - Kenny

Sounds Coming Out of Florida II

As many of you know - I've been producing and co-hosting a podcast for the last year that focuses on original music being created by musicians living in Florida. Although jazz does well in South Florida; it's a big state where the genre is languishing in some pretty big cities including Jacksonville (!), St. Augustine, Daytona Beach and Gainesville.

The podcast is designed to be that "one more" outlet for the composers & performers here in the state to gain a little exposure; and has done well, with a faithful audience all over the world and consistently high ranking in the jazz category.

For August I decided to buck tradition a bit and program music that requires more listener involvement. If you haven't heard artists like Ron Miller, LaRue Nickelson and Zach Bartholomew, I encourage you to have a listen and see what's really going down here in the South.

If you want to help us in this endeavor - simple things like clicking the Facebook "like" button, or sharing an episode on your wall or twitter go a very long way! Thanks in advance and God bless! - Kenny

Sounds Coming Out of Florida

Above is the latest episode of the podcast I produce and co-host - "Palm Coast Jazz"; which features original compositions from musicians residing here in the Sunshine State. It has turned out to be one of the most rewarding undertakings of my life - to be exposed to so much creativity & talent, along with many of the musicians themselves who are friendly and down to earth. Hearing the music is inspiring, and it's encouraging to see the response of listeners from all over the world who agree - there's some amazing and highly listenable music being made here! Hope you enjoy the show :)
