I listen to NPR(National Public Radio) though the only NPR station near me is WMHT which is a classical station and now that I listen for about 9-16 hours a day(at work) I have become a big classical fan. The service is great and next time they have a membership drive I will suscribe(they don't have commercials), they rely on listeners to make donations to keep things going, basic membership status starts at a dollar a day(well worth it for at least 9 hours a day of music) but you can donate as much or as little but $365 a year is the minimum to get membership benefits. I wish there was a NPR jazz station in my area that would be the cat's pajamas. You can find out more about local NPR in your area at www.npr.org or www.prms.org (public radio music service) is a place to buy music usually at fair prices- proceeds benefit the NPR stations in your area. I appreciate the heads up about an NPR Jazz cd I will have to find that. The funny thing about NPR is that I enjoy it at work but don't even have Tuner at home :) maybe one day that will change.
Anyone listen to the NPR jazz series cd's?
I was strollng through the salemusic site and found the "I heard it on NPR" cd jazz for blue nights. I ordered it and a John Coltrane/soultrane cd. The recording on the NPR disc is fantastic with artists like Miles,Cannonball Adderley,Patricia Barber, Dianne Reeves and Cassandra Wilson. Look up this site and try this cd if your into jazz. NPR has a site that should have more info on their jazz series.
