"This is a real jazz station, and I can tell the announcer is a New Yorker. I'm a former NYC resident (born and raised) in Greenwich Village where many classic jazz clubs once existed, the Village Vanguard is still there. I hope Jazz Con Class Radio remains on the air for many years to come!"
- Tony Candido-Oakland, California (USA)"Jazz Con Class Radio plays the finest in jazz 24 hours a day. Here you can listen to the best in jazz, all the giants from Duke Elliington and Charlie Parker to Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock as well as the infinite number of notable contributors in between. Jazz Con Class Radio plays the whole spectrum of jazz. Jazz that's melodic, but never boring as well as edgy, but not too far out. Jazz Con Class Radio presents all the best this great American music form has to offer. Online. 24 hours a day. You'll find it all on Jazz Con Class Radio."
- Sven Pantano, New Hampshire (USA)"Enjoy, very much, listening to your arrangements. My wife and I have two sons (14 & 11) who think Jazz is 'Dad's elevator music'. However, while we were watching 'High Society' Bing Crosby was leading the band in 'Now you has Jazz', while slowly adding each instrument. Finally, of course, the whole number was really rolling with Louis Armstrong leading the way! My youngest son, Joseph, said 'Dad, play that once more.' My wife smiled at me and I knew this wonderful, American art form was getting through to them.
Keep going, Jose. Jazz Con Class Radio is fabulous!"
