Blue Lake now streaming on the web

[Lazaro Vega]

Happy belated birthday to Fred Anderson featured tonight on Blue Lake, with the web stream on early, at 10 p.m. due to the kindness of independant record label owners!

(p.s. heard through the grapevine that the new "book" on local FM radio audience has 4,000 people tuning in to Jazz From Blue Lake every night, and our daytime classical music is earning a 2.5 share of this growing market. A 2.5 adds up to around 28,000 people a week just to hear our daytime classical programming...Of course since we didn't pay for this info, I can't use it so please don't tell anyone. )

Paul Motian is our featured artist tonight, and the web cast might begin at 10 rather than 11:30 because of the kindness of independant record labels.

[Lazaro Vega]

Tonight, Monday, the web stream begins at 10 p.m. and we'll be listening to the music of Duke Jordan.

Thanks for the link to WFIU Night Lights, it's great !!

Blue Lakes broadcasting schedule is , of course, out of synchronisation with Tokyo, I've tuned in several times but it seems to be talk shows all the time.

Maybe a clearer schedule to help international listeners would be a good idea.

Thanks for the mail Lazaro. The time difference is very simple, we are twelve hours ahead of you. I've already started listening to some of the 'morning ' show, very nice. Thanks again.

I just returned from the GMT converter to see Jazz From Blue Lake would be heard from 11:30 a.m. most weekdays in Tokoyo. Tonight is one of the occassional nights we'll begin at 10 p.m. -- 10 a.m. in Tokoyo.

Thanks for trying us out. Hope you come back. Please tell any friends in Japan who you think might enjoy us. If you have a minute to post any of the jazz stations in Japan, especially Tokoyo, that would be much appreciated. I've been talking to a concert producer in Toronto who wants to see about broadcasting recordings in Japan.

Got you tuned in right now, Lazaro... and happy b-day once again! Someone's on a mighty bass run.

[ghost of miles]

Cool, too, to hear Bennie & Gene on "Walkin'"... I just listened again to the first 2 CDs of the BG Mosaic Select last night. And always good to hear Jordan--it's been far too long since I've listened to him.

[Lazaro Vega]

Isn't that cool, too, that "The Poet of the Piano" as Jordan is called by his Japanese fans just happened to be featured on the first night we heard from a listener in Japan?

Thanks Ghost. Man, these late night hours are starting to feel more social already!

Yeah, I caught your reference to Kinuta! Excellent that the cool sounds of Blue Lake are now going out all over the world.

I have to track down some of that Jordan Steeplechase material.

Well, whatever you do, just don't mouth the dreaded BAS-ra.

As yet I haven't located any Japanese internet radio stations that I would consider recommending. If I come across anything interesting I'll post details. Alternatively if anyone has any leads they would like following up on the various Japanese language web sites I'll be happy to oblige.

Herbie Hancock as featured artist starting in about 10 minutes.....

[Big Al]

What is that song playing right now? I should know this title, but it's escaping me right now!

[Big Al]

I missed Organissimo!!!!! AAAAAARGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I s'pose I could listen to the CD, but HEARING IT ON THE RADIO IS SO MUCH COOLER!!!!!

[Big Al]

"Blind Man, Blind Man" and now "I Have a Dream," from wonderful vinyl. Ahhhhh, I forgot how nice vinyl truly sounds!

[Lazaro Vega]

Hi Al,
