| December 13, 2007 will mark the four year anniversary of Jazzy Lounge radio on Live365. Jazzy Lounge's initial format was directly influenced by one of my favorite stations and syndicated radio programs, Musical Starstreams, hosted by Forest. From the program mix on his station, I created a spreadsheet of tracks for future purchase and eventually found out that much of what I was cataloging was related to downtempo and chillout music. When I finalized the concept of Jazzy Lounge, those genres just mentioned would be my focus- laid back, mellow, funky grooves. I began to build my music library purchasing mainly compilations of downtempo and chillout tracks. One day, while perusing the music aisle, I saw an album that had the word "Ultimate" in it's title. Having recently purchased another album with the word "ultimate" in its title, "Ultimate Chill Out", I got excited and totally ignored the last word in it's title, "Lounge." I dropped the 27 track, 2-disc set into the CD player, listened to all tracks, and said to myself, "Most of this is garbage." I found just three tracks to add to future playlists. But, I gave the album another listen and found myself saying, "This CD is tight!" I eventually marked fourteen tracks from this compilation for airplay- jazzy, lounge tracks. That experience helped me realize one listen is never enough when reviewing tracks for airplay. From that day forward I began to expand the boundaries of genres Jazzy Lounge would play. Now you hear:Acid Jazz, Ambient, Bossa Nova, Breakbeat, Celtic, Chill, Christmas, Dance, Downtempo, Drum 'n' Bass, Dub, Electro, Electronica, Ethnic Fusion, Funk, Hard House, Hip-Hop/Rap, House, IDM, Latin Dance, Lounge, Love/Romance, Neo-Soul, New Age, Nu jazz, Pop, R&B/Urban, Reggae, Rock, Smooth Jazz, Spoken Word, Top 40, Trance, Trip Hop, Underground Hip-Hop, Urban Contemporary, Worldbeatwhich is why Jazzy Lounge radio currently labels itself as a "freeform electronica station". To entice the listener, Jazzy Lounge concentrates on creating moods or musical biorhythms- dance one minute, chill the next, some female vocals, then lounge, followed by a cross genre jazz mix. Hmph. I guess as moody as I am. I look forward to expanding the reach of Jazzy Lounge in 2008, and I want you to be a part of it. Feedback, comments, suggestions and partnering is welcomed.

The Jazzy Lounge Song of the Week
November 5-11, 2007What's unique about "The Solar House" is the danceable, funky rhythms and the great trumpet section. The 15 second intro provides brief tension as a sampled female voice glides over the bass and trumpet. Funky house rhythms follow, punctuated by a jazzy horn section.
I would love to be in the audience of one of their Cyberdread DJ sets when this track is played. That old dude on the dance floor would be me.
A special thanks to all that took time to call their senators or emailed them.
