THANKS to all my Freedom Jazz Dance listeners and jazz lovers!

This fall, I’m taking a hiatus from the FM airwaves and focusing my jazz efforts online. To that end, I will be growing the FJD website into a more dynamic worldwide jazz resource with reviews written by yours truly, special jazz features, rare tracks, new recordings, informative jazz links and updates on the latest, coolest events.

Additionally, I’ll also be podcasting exclusive online-only shows and special selections to quench your thirst for rare jazz records and the latest under-the-radar improvisers! Stay tuned and post a comment!

Cheers...and thanks for listening!

Ken
