Cape Town Jazz Radio

There are some radio presenters who make out some jazz artists appear to be only "one hit wonders". They know only one or a few songs of a jazz artist and only these songs that they know get played repeatedly.(Maybe they get told what to play).

Trumpeter Don Cherry said "When people believe in boundaries, they become part of them."

I do believe that there are some creative presenters and that they do have a choice to play what they want to play. It is that simple

"Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple"
Charles Mingus

Luckily, there is some relief. Eric Alan has compiled a good summary of radio jazz shows that can be tuned into from Cape Town. Get it here.

If you know of any more, let Eric know.

Happy listening.

The details given for Fine Music Radio are far from correct. I'll contact Eric and give him the correct info.


"Jazz and freedom go hand in hand. That explains it. There isn't any more to add to it. If I do add to it, it gets complicated. That's something for you to think about. You think about it and dig it. You dig it..." Thelonious Monk
