One Man's Jazz

One Man's Jazz has been in existence since 1999. I had always wanted to try my hand at doing radio because I loved jazz, had too many records, was active in it as a performer, and I was working as an artist representative and manager for primarily jazz artists. And apparently I have a “radio” voice. Ha! So when a new local college station was looking for volunteers, I jumped at the chance. I was so excited the day of my first show that I left the house wearing my house slippers.

That excitement has not left, and even though I tired of the college scene, I decided to head for the world of extraterrestrial radio and join Taint Radio in 2012, where a group of passionate programmers could freely program whatever the hell they like, right up until Taint Radio closed operations in April 2024. And I still do. My tastes in the music have changed considerably since those first days of Brubeck and early Miles and Coltrane. Nowadays I'm all about expanding the palette, looking at artists from other countries besides North America, searching beyond the mainstream, and focusing on moving the music forward.

I relish my time doing One Man's Jazz, because it really is all about the music and the people who make it. I hope you'll join me once in a while here on AAJ, the show website or Mixcloud.com.
