Welcome to SKY.fm Smooth Jazz, where you will "unquestionably
hear the most sublime mix of smooth jazz you’ll find
anywhere in the world”. So says Jimi King, the man responsible
for programming this channel and having a great amount of
experience with other smooth jazz projects in Great Britain.
Jimi has over 30 years in the music and radio business behind
him. He claims that the selection process for the tracks that
are included here is an extremely meticulous one. Many albums
from the genre’s top performers often end up contributing
only a track or two. Sometimes they get overlooked completely.
JK says “Over four years of programming smooth jazz
for an Internet audience have taught me that it only takes
a couple of weak songs to lose vast chunks of your audience
very quickly. It’s clear from the feedback I’ve
received that because the smooth jazz community is a small
one with fewer releases per year than most other genres, many
programmers often put in tracks that normally wouldn’t
make it. I’m more interested in quality than quantity.
If it doesn’t make the grade, it doesn’t go on
the air”.
He also claims there’s a secret ingredient in the selection
of the tracks that make up the smooth jazz channel, and needless
to say he’s keeping it to himself (well hey it wouldn’t
be a secret otherwise, would it?).
This is more than just another smooth jazz station. Give
us fifteen minutes of your time and if you like what you hear,
we are confident that you’ll like all of it. Listen
for an hour or two and you’ll find it very difficult
to tear yourself away. Beware. SKY.fm Smooth Jazz is VERY
addictive!
