On June 8, 2008, Talking Smooth Jazz aired its first show on BlogTalkRadio.com. It was the first format on the site to interview regional, national and international smooth jazz artists and pioneered the way for similar shows. Since then we have done more than 400 interviews and have over 400,000 downloads.

Join us on June 8, 2013, as we take a look back on the last five years with some of our most memorable interviews. Thank you to the artists and fans for supporting Talking Smooth Jazz.

"THE JAZZ QUEEN AND MIKE REYNOLDS ARE AMONG THE FIRST TO USE BLOGTALKRADIO TO STREAM THEIR SHOW. THEY INTERVIEW BIG NAMES AND NEW DISCOVERIES AND PLAY SOME MUSIC ALONG THE WAY."

Bassist Russel Blake Writes Song in Memory of
The Sandy Hook School Victims.

The track was composed and produced to honor the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. 100% of the .99 cent download purchase price will be donated to The Women Against Gun Violence Organization (WAGV.) WAGV's mission is to educate the public, policymakers and the media about the human, financial and public health consequences of gun violence and to mobilize local communities to take decisive action against the dangers of firearms. Please help spread the word on this campaign as .99 cents is a small price to pay to help this organization fight in a big way to eliminate the availability of the type of weapons that created this latest national tragedy. Remember your .99 cent purchase WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Thank you Russel Blake for your humanitarian spirit in this arena and in the area Domestic Violence Awareness.
