Over this weekend I had extra time to play with a new iPod Classic 80GB. A client gave the developers on the team each a shiny new iPod for busting our butts on their project. Now my inner geek can blend with my inner musician!
So a while back, I discovered this show on PBS call Legends of Jazz. It has interviews with jazz greats and new names in jazz. It also has performances in front of a live audience. The studio backup musicians are superb. I highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys music. So I purchased all episodes for $1.99 each through the iTunes store and will be listening and watching them on my iPod!!! The picture is crystal clear and the sound is excellent. I also found several FREE podcasts via the iTunes store that are hosted by NPR. It's a little odd that a service like the iTunes store has those free podcasts but I'm definately drawn into using iTunes more because of it. So, I'm busily downloading the NPR: Jazz Profiles show and Piano Jazz Shorts. I'm very excited to listen and learn from these new sources of jazz on the web.
The next places I'm going to look for podcasts and videos will be JazzCorner.com, woodyshaw.com, and dextergordon.com.
I love my new iPod! It rocks and be-bops!
