Capitol Jazz Radio - streaming station put on by the folks at Capital Jazz Fest in DC. I have no idea who programs this thing and I stumbled onto it quite by accident but they are not afraid of tempo and don't trip up into any of the smooth jazz cliches..no whispery voices urging you to "relax," focus on the strongest trax rather than the singlesand the full length versions. Not afraid of electric guitar solos, blaring horns, funky horn sections or any of the other BA no-no's. They play stars, indies, and underpromoted older goodies. Covers and vocals are rare. Heard Urban Knights "On The Radio," Golub's "Manteca" and Incognito's "Colibri" and some tasty older Art Porter...their tag is "jazz that rocks" although their lean is more urban.
