Re: Bach goes jazz?

[dan.strassberg@worldnet.att.net]

I'll have to start listening to WBOQ in AM drive again. 
I can get on my SuperRadio at home, but not in my car 
between home and work. When I used to listen, I didn't 
notice jazz in AM drive, but I definitely noticed it in 
PM drive.

At work, I listen mostly to CJRT (FM) in Toronto via 
RealAudio. CJRT is classical from 5:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 
does Jazz from 3:00 to 7:00 PM and from 9:00 PM to 1:00 
AM. (I don't know what airs overnight.)

I find the combination to be very pleasant and I suspect 
that CJRT, which is partially listener supported (Canada 
allows that), must have determined that it's a 
combination that works for them.

CJRT's selection of Jazz ranges quite a bit wider than 
anything I've heard on WBOQ. Sometimes it's even a bit 
much for me--my taste in Jazz is what I call mainstream. 
But the far-out selections never last too long, so I 
generally hang in. And the friendly, low-key 
presentation, which is not unlike WBOQ's, is perfect for 
late afternoon.
