2010 – Already a great year for music
9th March: www.soulandjazz.com launched its unique, legal and commercial free podcasting service on the 18th May, 2009. Seventy nine countries are now being entertained & it’s a warm welcome this month to new listeners in Ghana, Qatar & Tunisia.
The last few months have seen a slow down in podcast production which has a lot to do with building awareness levels in other areas such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn as well as developing an American radio presence. We’ve also been preparing our commercial division which includes the development of industry services such as bespoke content for other on-line providers along with further world-wide radio stations. In addition, we’ve been busy working on the new podcast ideas for S&J and will shortly be featuring some incredible artists & presenters from both Europe & the USA. So without further ado, here’s a brief overview of some, but not all, of the new podcasts to look forward to during March and April:
Swing!
Presented by Scotty Barnhart of the Count Basie Orchestra, the type of music you can expect to hear is suggested right there in the title!
(Monthly – March)
Aquarium
Presented by the Live Tropical Fish, the chaps will be taking a closer look at such things as spiritual jazz from the 70’s.
(Monthly – March)
The Great Vaults of Errico
Presented by legendary drummer Greg Errico, he’ll be dusting down unreleased gems from the likes of Sly Stone and Santana which have to this day, never been broadcast.

Continuum – A Journey Through Jazz

As we mentioned at the top, it’s been a great year for music so far in 2010 and this doesn’t look like abating. What has been apparent is the increase in quality via independent releases and this is a trend that we expect to see keep on rising. We think it fair to say that the major labels certainly don’t seem to be covering themselves in glory currently.
And so to the music. New podcasts are available from today which include the Jazz 60 and Extra Inches – Disco! Vol.5. From the 10th March you’ll also be able to hear The Hurst Selection with and incredible 26 tracks on offer.
Here’s the deal.
