Quietmusic is a 3 hour-long weekly show, featuring an eclectic and mellow mix of jazz, ambient textures, electronic and acoustic instrumentals, and vocal ballads. It began on the radio in 1994 and aired for over 17 years at KYOT-FM in Phoenix. It was also syndicated on nearly 100 stations across North America from 2000-2009. The program continues because of financial support from its online listeners. If you love the music, appreciate the work it takes to put together, and want to listen to the full three hours, subscribe now at my MIXCLOUD page by clicking the "subscribe" button (above) -
