NEWS : Sanctuary Jazz update

February 5, 2004

Hello everyone! I hope you are celebrating the gift of music and each breath of life!! I am excited to announce that the "Smooth Pizzazz" radio is now broadcasting on the internet! All the CJA artists will have at least one of their songs on the program. (If you go to listen and don't hear yours, don't worry.) There is already a huge amount of material and more is being uploaded all the time! So be sure and listen because there is so much excellent material; I know you will love it!!

I want to thank all of those CJA members who submitted their CDs for inclusion on Smooth Pizzazz Radio. Right now, there is only music, but look for inspiring thoughts, quotes, devotionals, CJA interviews, and jazz-related topics to be added to the broadcast! If you haven't sent me your CD yet, please do so right away!

Visit Smooth Pizzazz Radio to logon directly to the station. You will have to log in to Live 365, but it's free! Or, you can alternately visit my site by clicking here. Share these links with anyone who might be interested. Remember, the more you tell people about Smooth Pizzazz, the more you are promoting your music and other Christian Jazz Artists!!

Of course, Smooth Pizzazz will also play jazz music from artists who aren't Christians. Since God is the source of all creativity, their music is still a valid gift from Him! God loves everyone equally and my hope is that many jazz artists will tune in to the radio program and be inspired by the CJA artists and the content of the programming!! But also from an educational point of view, there is so much that can be gleaned by intelligent listening and learning, which is also a great gift from the Creator!

This is only the beginning of "Smooth Pizzazz!" Internet Radio has grown to have millions of listeners. There are wireless players that will hook your internet radio directly to your home stereos or stand-alone players, etc. Soon, efforts will be underway to broadcast Smooth Pizzazz on FM radio as well!!

If you are a contributing artist to the radio program, MAKE SURE that if you have written songs that are being broadcast, you have them on file with ASCAP, BMI, or whomever you are affiliated with! WHY????? Because you will receive royalties and credit for having your songs on this broadcast!!!

I suggest that you put your CDs for sale on Amazon.com. The reason for this is that when Smooth Pizzazz is playing there is a window showing what is currently playing, as well as what recently played before. There is a little button that says "Buy Now" — if your CD is listed with Amazon your CD artwork shows up as well. Bottom line is that this could increase your CD sales!

Celebrate today!
