new C.D. is in the mix!

Thank you for supporting live and recorded Jazz out of Austin!

When the wonderful folks at K.U.T. radio air our music it seems we instantly move product at the Music stores carrying our C.D.s across Texas. We have noticed that less and less jazz is being given radio air time in Austin this past year, and we want the station to know that there are listeners out there that enjoy listening to this genre.

It would be so helpful, if you are ever sitting near the phone between 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m to call in a request to Eklektikos to play any selections off of the Suzi Stern releases they have at their station. Our group has 4 C.D.s out now on Viewpoint Records and most recently Aardvark records, and a new c.d. coming out with George Oldziey and the band this winter.

ALSO: Paul Rays Jazz show is from 8:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M Tues. Wed & Thurs. and this is the ideal spot for our music.

Request line, 471-2345. KUT (90.5)

With thanks and much Love,

Suzi and her band
