Ralph Rice

A longtime host at a local Atlanta community radio station, I am proud to say that I have been involved in the local jazz community for over 30 years.  I have had the pleasure of personal acquaintance with many of the locally residing classic jazz musicians who have kept the tradition going--Jimmy Heath, Freddy Cole, Gary Motley, and Kathleen Bertrand among many others.  

​

My program always starts with the classic stylings of the greatest living saxophonist ever--Mr. John Coltrane, and goes from there into the worlds of swing, bebop, hard bop, modal, and vocal jazz.  My show will acquaint you not only with the well-known musicians within classic jazz, but will also provide exposure to some of the lesser known but still masterful musicians who have contributed to the American Classical Music that we call jazz.

Shows:

  • Ellington, Monk, Trane, And More (Wednesdays 10pm)

Where Real Music Lives!!

We are a group of DJs/show hosts for whom "music is the message". The core group are former (traditional) jazz hosts at an Atlanta radio station who have decided we want to keep the music alive through Mixcloud. Joining us are experts in blues, blues rock, old school R&B, funk, and soul. Bottom line is we all share a common goal to continue to present REAL music to our past, present, and future listeners. Give us a try and tell a friend!
