Jazz: Smooth jazz on line

"Who are we? 'The Island' is our tiny Internet radio station which broadcasts from the village of Fetuna on the island of Raiatéa near Tahiti. It's amazing what a satellite link-up can do. 'The Island' was created as a 'labor of love' of the art of smooth jazz. Our goal is to get away from the standard practice of playing mediocre just-released commercial music, but at the same time provide a place of musical refuge for radio listeners. As the announcer says, '...music designed to make you feel good!' Our music is commercial-free, positive, and non-destructive in its message. At any time during the day you can hear music from great smooth jazz artists such as 'Chieli Minucci, Norman Brown, Warren Hill, Sade, Jeff Golub, Richard Elliot, Marc Antoine, Paul Hardcastle to name just a few.

"The format - We play 'smooth jazz' spiced with music of adult contemporary artists. It's an 80/20% split. The format is designed to appeal to the majority of adult listeners. Songs included in our playlists are songs that are unique in music composition and can stand on their own. You'll hear melodious saxaphones, magnificent percussion, pianos and guitars." -- from the website. <http://www.SmoothIsland.com/>
