Live Bands:
This website was named around 2010 by two bands, Full Moon Jazz and Hacksaw's Blues. Since then supply and demand has grown so exponentially that the list of bands, their categories, and number venues must now be in the dozens...more
Calendar:
We try to sync the "community calendar" as heard on our weekly radio show to the listed version here. But there's so much more, especially with schedules of bands we follow or represent. Particularly Pat Roberts and the Heymakers, who I am drumming for several nights per week these days.
We feel Phoenix has a market for jazz and blues on the air, especially in the digital domain. We also know that Phoenix has a history of jazz radio over many decades that is forgotten, ignored, and for certain unappreciated. Part of our solution is audio on theRadio archive link starting in the 1970s up to what we are doing today. More vintage radio shows are being added, including recordings from other cities with past/current jazz stations.
In the Community:We are based in the Sunnyslope community of Phoenix, centered at Central and Dunlap. It is home of the monthly Second Saturday and the bi-annual Sunnyslope Art Walk. These events host local visual artists and musicians, some of which play jazz and blues.
Christina Plante, Neighborhood Relations Manager for John C. Lincoln Health Network, writes: "The Sunnyslope 2nd Saturdays Committee would like to thank you for participating in the April 2012 Sunnyslope Art Walk. That wind made for some frightening moments and the brief shower right at the start of check-in…" more
A chance to write to our heart's content, and see if anyone wants to respond. For example, news from a Hacksawed journal from early April 2012...
"A crazy couple weekends just passed: A radio setup plus a drum kit was moved from bike week at Westworld to the Chandler Jazz Festival, then the Sunnyslope Art Walk to the Glendale Jazz and Blues fest, all requiring musical attention.
"Jim Crawford, Interim Phoenix Blues Society President, reports: 'As usual, this year's Glendale Jazz & Blues Festival went off without a hitch. The weather slowed traffic down a little on Saturday, but the faithful came out and saw and heard stellar performances throughout the day ending with a smoking set from Bernard Alison and band. Bernard is the son of the late Luther Alison..' " more
