Jazz Building Blocks Radio Show
Jim Compton-Schmidt, a DJ in Fresno, CA, has been developing a monthly show called "Jazz Building
Blocks" from student-jazz CDs of all ages, airing from 1pm to 4pm PDT on the first Thursday of each month on kfsr 90.7, http://www.kfsr.org. At this point Jim's included the work of students directed and taught by AJV luminaries Clem DeRosa, Justin DiCioccio and Rich DeRosa, among many many others internationally, played by students recorded as long ago as the '60s. Jim's a very sincere and nice guy, very supportive of the music life-long and really in tune with our mission here at AJV. He's trying to gather enough material to grow to a weekly series. If any of you or anyone you know is interested in submitting music to Jim, his contact info is:
