I still communicate with people who say how much they miss the XM channel 72-Beyond Jazz.

Well, this is Russ Davis and I started MOJA Radio almost immediately right after sirius did away with Beyond Jazz and all the same stuff is there with no sirius restrictions on playlist or content. There’s Words & Music, Acid Jazz, Jazzy Jambands, Monday with the Masters, Live @ MOJALand and the weekly new music show ALL NEW MUSIC REVUE.

Check it out at http://www.mojaradio.com and you can hear a sample plus lots of other stuff for free (it’s a subscriber service) like the MOJA YouTube channel, the Voice of America show that Russ Davis does, a new vocal jazz show called THE NEW JAZZ SINGERS, the MOJA blog site and other stuff.

Just spreading the word… Russ

I drive a tracto-trailer for a living. spending 15 hours behind the wheel per day, it’s easy to understand how important radio is to me. i have both xm an sirius in truck. For quite some time now, I’ve hed onto hope that xm and sirius would go back to the way they used to be. I remember switching back and forth from xm to sirius, and then from channel to channel. I would find something but while listening, would miss something somewhere else. The choicez were abundant. Beyond Jazz was definately one of the big guns of xm. Along with Beyond Jazz, alot of channels from both companies vanished. I was so impresssed with them both that i bought xm for my dad and brother. Neither of them even use them anymore. I’m trying to justify holding onto hope because the money i can save if i cancel the xm subscriptions would make me feel somewhat better. you can’t turn on your am/fm and hear stuff like Beyond Jazz. I thought that was the whole point of satellite radio, to give yo choices you can’t anywhere else. I’ll give it to the end of my contract, after that, I’m out! If they bring back some real entertainment like Beyond Jazz, then I’m back in. xm

I horrified to see the changes that Serius made to XM. The only thing that was unique about satilite radio, as far as I’m conserned, was Beyond Jazz.

Not only did I want to listen to it a lot; I wanted to get my music out on it. Back then, I was calling my music, “psychotronic jazz.”

I didn’t realize that “psychotronic” already had an accepted meaning. For me, it was a contraction (psycho-accoustic+electronic).

The Beyond Jazz bump was a major blow. I’m glad to have found it again on the web. Now let’s hope that iTumes doesn’t go anywhere.

Peace!
