Jazz.FM91: web radio app for iPhone/iPod

A couple of apps turn your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad into a web radio. I’ve been using last.fm a lot, but the available music has recently become less exiting, in my opinion. I now have discovered the Jazz.FM91 app at the App Store, which immedieately became my new favourite! Jazz.FM91 is  a Jazz radio station from Canada, which is available worldwide via the internet. With the new iPhone app, you not only can enjoy their radio shows via live stream, they also offer Podcasts, additional web radio streams (“singers” or “contemporary Jazz“), a feature to listen their shows while using other apps (“background”), direct links to their website, program schedule, twitter, webblog, etc …
Five stars from me!

Free streaming music at Wolfgang’s Vault

I recently discovered an interesting music website, Wolfgang’s Vault. “The World’s Greatest Collection of Vintage Concert Recordings” has just acquired recordings from the  Newport Jazz and Folk Festival.
Wolfgang’s Vault now offers concert recordings by artists like Ahmad Jamal Trio, Dizzy Gillespie, The Four Freshman, Gene Krupa Quartet, George Shearing, Herbie Mann Sextet, Horace Silver Quintet, Jimmy Smith Trio, The Mastersounds, Oscar Peterson Trio, Maynard Ferguson, Stan Kenton Orchestra, Thelonious Monk and others as a MP3 download, or free music stream.

Spanish double bass forum

“Es un placer informarle de que hemos inaugurado dos nuevas secciones en los últimos días. Un sub-foro dedicado a las nuevas tecnologías musicales (Finale, Sibelius, mp3, etc) y una galería de fotos curiosas relacionadas con el tema del contrabajo.
Además de esto, hemos asociado recientemente el dominio www.contrabajo.es con el foro, lo que nos permitirá en un futuro ampliar las posibilidades de nuestra página.
Esperamos que estas novedades sean de su agrado y le invitamos una vez más a que participe en nuestro proyecto.”
