We feature a quite different menu of
Smooth, Vocal, R'n'B, Inspirational, Latin and Brazilian Jazz by showcasing many Indie Artists and Labels on our shows, most of whom do not always get the recognition that they deserve for their
wonderful music. We salute and champion them on all of our shows on JazzNet247 Radio.
We also have the newest releases and the highest chart climbers from the Groove Jazz Charts to which JazzNet247 Radio is a contributing member, and tracks from The STREETJAZZ Vaults which you might be hearing for the first time.
We are serviced daily by the leading recording labels, servicing agents and by the hundreds of Indie Artists and Labels from all over the world who submit their music to us for consideration. Therefore we can offer you the freshest new music each week long before the tracks ever make the charts and generally before they attract airplay on the commercial radio networks.
Due to the growing popularity of our show we have increased the number of tracks to 40 each week and added some new features. Our show now airs for circa 3 hours and is looped on the STREETJAZZ WIDGET PLAYER. Listeners can play any of the streaming songs over and over again by clicking on the track title in the widget player window.
We
have a number of popular features each week including our Featured Artist And Album Of The Week, our Solid Gold Retold Album Of The Week, our Indie Artist Spotlight Album and a new feature for 2012 called A Brazilian Portrait Album.
Due to the popularity of our Dreams Of Rio Show on JazzNet247 Radio we are now including more Brazilian Flavours and more tracks from the Indie Artists and Labels. We will also be including more R'n'B, Inspirational and Latin Jazz songs for you each week.

We call it A Brazilian Portrait Album and this week we feature two tracks from a wonderful compilation album from a show favourite set from 2005 called 'Nueva Bossa Nova', this is a great collection for those new to today's bossa sound, sample Helena Morrer and 'Nos Seus Bracos' and the legend Marcos Valle and 'On Line' to listen to what we mean.
