Palm Coast Podcast to Launch Soon!

Our first podcast is almost complete! Episode 1 will feature jazz music from two Palm Coast residents, as well as a few from Ormond Beach, Daytona and even Orlando. The lineup includes Ray Guiser, Mark Chiriboga, Frank Capek and Robert Harris - and the styles are a pleasant mix of contemporary jazz, straight-ahead and top-notch smooth. There's so much talent around - can't fit it all in one show!


If you're a NE Florida jazz musician or know one with original music on a studio-quality recording, contact us at palmcoastjazz@gmail if you'd like to be considered for an upcoming podcast. We'll even stretch the boundaries a little if it's good stuff!


We're aware the calendar is working only intermittently. We've contacted the app designer; if things don't improve by next week we'll move to different calendar software - thanks for your patience!


Don't forget to tell your jazz-loving friends about us - and go catch some live music! Thanks for stopping by - Kenny
