The biggest part of my job at AccuRadio is getting new music, putting it on our server, and deciding what channels should play it. This process of discovering new music is also the most rewarding part of my job, so it's always a pleasure to let you, the listeners, know exactly what great new stuff is playing on AccuJazz.
This update is pretty big, as always, and includes mostly recent releases, though there is a section of older discs that recently came in to our possession at the bottom of the post. You can purchase the CDs online by clicking the titles, and discs that come heavily recommended are adorned with the envied double asterisk (**). To hear all of these new releases and lots of other great ones from the last 7 months, listen to the New Releases channel on AccuJazz.com while you peruse the post.
Without further ado:
