I would like to pick up Radio Cuba or stations from Brazil. Radio Cuba is available via the Internet but seems to be off-air, or just not streaming at the moment, see: http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?s=Cuba&numresult=25 http://www.radiocuba.net/ Any station playing Jazz etc etc. There's loads of jazz internet radio stations, see: http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Jazz http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Latin http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Swing http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Big%20Band http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Classic http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Smooth http://www.shoutcast.com/directory/?sgenre=Acid%20Jazz For good audio quality you will need a broadband internet connection and go for any station that uses bit rates of 128kbps or higher. But if you only have a 56k modem then there's still loads of stations that you can receive but the audio quality won't be very good. -- DAB sounds worse than FM, Freeview, Digital Satellite and Cable -- http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/ BBC DAB is a national disgrace Subscribe for free to the Digital Radio Listeners' Group Newsletter |

Any station playing Jazz etc etc. Does anybody know any frequencies in the short wave bands and what time they broadcast so they can be heard from the UK ? Thanks for any help! Here are the frequencies for Radio Habana Cuba: http://www.radiohc.org/Distributions/freqtable.html The following is an excellent site for finding online stations and their websites. There are loads of stations from Brazil, you'll have to plough through their websites to see if any transmit on shortwave: http://www.live-radio.net/ww_ac.shtml#brazil or you can just enjoy them online! If the above link doesn't work go to www.live-radio.net and navigate from there. |

I don't know if you have a satellite-dish; but you can pick up quite a few full-time jazzstation via satellite over Europe (7 in total, the last time I checked). Hi Kristoff, The ones I know of on 13E / 19E / 28E a Paris Jazz, Jazz Radio Berlin, Swiss Jazz. There's UK Jazz FM of course (don't like that much!) plus a Nederlands Jazz FM if I remember correctly. Can you remember what else is out there? Thanks! - Martin. |

Any station playing Jazz etc etc. I know RCI (Radio Canada International) sometimes broadcasts CBC jazz programs on their satellite channels (on eutelsat hotbird). But I doubt they transmit these programs on SW. We sure do 8) The CBC Radio 2 SW relays carry cool Jazz and Blues. -- Gregg *Perhaps it's useful, even if it can't be SPICE'd* Visit the GeeK Zone - http://geek.scorpiorising.ca |

This from
http://www.radiohc.org/Distributions/hist-eng.html its rather political and anti-US as you would expect but they do play good music as well. Radio Havana Cuba, the first Cuban international shortwave radio station, was officially inaugurated on May 1, 1961. Born as an alternative to international news agencies and stations that distort the image of the island's revolutionary process, since its founding, Radio Havana Cuba has been an authentic Cuban voice devoted to broadcasting the island's social, economy and political panorama. It broadcast to the world accurate and timely information on the Bay of Pigs invasion in April of that year, perpetrated by US-trained mercenaries. That US aggression was repelled by the Cuban people in less than 72 hours. In view of international news agencies' silence on US-backed aggressions, on April 16th, 1961 speaking at the funeral of the victims of US bombings on Cuban airports, Cuban President Fidel Castro said: "Do they really believe they will be able to hide it from the world? ... No, Cuba already has a radio station which is broadcasting to all Latin America, and this is being heard by innumerable brothers and sisters in Latin America and the world over." This was the station's introduction to the world. The Cuban radio station has grown in its more than 35 years, and its voice can be picked up today in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Its language has also become universal. From two hours of transmissions in Spanish and English when it began, it currently broadcasts 30 hours daily in Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Creole, Arabic, Guarani and Quechua, and two and a half additional hours in Esperanto on Sundays. Radio Havana Cuba's programming deals with a wide range of issues on the Cuban and international scenes and it has reached its peak with coverage of such events as the Malvinas conflict, the US invasions of the Dominican Republic, Grenada and Panama and the international campaign for the release of South African leader Nelson Mandela. Radio Havana Cuba offered an alternative view on the Gulf War and was rewarded with the attention of thousands of listeners from around the world. At this moment, RHC has become an indispensable source of information on the process of economic reforms taking place in Cuba and on the island's dynamic social and political scenario brought to listeners in the voices of the newsmakers themselves: high ranking government officials, foreign investors, members of cooperatives, workers, campesinos and the self-employed, among others. Our P.O Box 6240 in Havana receives thousands of letters from all over the world every year, which are answered one by one by our Correspondence Department. For some, Cuba is simply news, but for others it is a friend in the Caribbean. Radio Havana Cuba's programming is both, reporting with integrity and honesty all issues it tackles. For all these reasons we invite you to tune in to the alternative signal of Radio Havana Cuba, the friendly voice that tours the world. Radio Havana Cuba, English Department, P.O. Box 6240 - Havana, Cuba Telephone: 53-7-814243 Fax: 53-7-812927 E-Mail: WWW: http://www.radiohc.org |

The Czech people are jazz lovers, as are the Dutch. Both countries have
decent broadcasts. You might inquire of them via email whether they have or plan to have jazz brodcasts - can't hurt S. "Beloved Leader" wrote in message om... (Spitfiremk9) wrote in message m... Any station playing Jazz etc etc. Voice of Russia. http://www.vor.ru/ep.html |
The VOA Jazz Hour with Willis Conover was superb, he is dead now but you may
be able to find recordings on the net. Mike |

Just had a quick listen to these. So far they're certainly not in the same league as Jazz Radio Berlin. Both are automatic stations with no human presenter. Too close to elevator-music at times; so I'm off to "Rock Antenne" for something to wake me up again... Ah, ZZ Top!

This is an interesting thread that I'm sorry I never thought of to
bring up myself. I recently purchased a short wave radio and, strictly in the novice stage, to a degree (as in taking a break from the Royals on AM) enjoy noodleing around with it of a summer evening outdoors. One finds some good classical music coming out of places like Germany and Russia but I hadn't had much luck finding jazz. I'll definetly check out these aforementioned recommendations. As a basic guide there is a great book that lists ALL short wave stations and the times they're on among other valuable short wave info, called "Passport To World Band Radio," Edition 2003, that I highly recommend. AllDirect.com has it for only about 12 bucks or so, and of course it's probably available most everwhere else too. Mark http://jazztrpt.freeservers.com |
Kate Malloch's "Jazz Beat" is broadcast Sunday evenings (Monday morn G.M.T.)

What about that 'kerlump!' on the drums that started 'Take the A-train'? Did it belong there or was it grafted on from a recording of the same piece by Brubeck? You'll remember 'Music USA' too, I guess? Introduced by 'Coral Reef', by Les Brown. Regards, Nick. -- Nick Hopton and Anne Hopton Caversham, Reading, England |
