About Me

Greetings All,I am a Jazz DJ on the greatest radio station on the planet: KOTO Community Radio in beautiful Telluride Colorado. My show (The Telluride Jazz Beat) is typically on the air every other Saturday from 3-6pm MST and of course it's available via a live internet stream at:
http://www.KOTO.org
As the Music Director and DJ for the Telluride Jazz Beat I play "The Best Contemporary Jazz From Around The World" and my play lists primarily consists of tunes from the CDs that my jazz artist friends here at MySpace so kindly send to me.
I was an Associate member of the International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) and attended their annual conference for many years. I am very sad that this organization and conference is no more.
I am also on the Advisory Board of the Telluride Jazz Celebration that takes place here in town each year in early June.
Join the Fun and See What's Going on at the Telluride Film Festival

Here's what I'm Listening to on Blip.fm
