| Our Purpose |
| NEW ENGLAND JAZZ RADIO COOPERATIVE (NEJRC) is an experiment in progress,
an attempt to establish a "virtual community" for people directly involved in
broadcasting of jazz in our region, with participation available to the broader jazz
community. It will allow for the exchange of "hard" information, as well as
ideas and opinions. New England is actually blessed with many jazz programs, but jazz
itself is a tiny, neglected segment of the overall music business; this problem demands to
be addressed. This site is hosted courtesy of WWUH-FM, at the University of Hartford, but the
views expressed here do not necessarily represent those of WWUH management, staff or
licensee, nor is WWUH responsible for any erroneous information carried here. WebEditors:
Jazz Officer Spaak, Jazz Director, WWUH-FM/Host of "The Boundless Jazz
Universe", Tuesdays, 9 p.m. to 12 Midnight
Chuck Obuchowski, Host of "Out Here and Beyond", Tuesdays,
9 a.m. to 12 noon, WWUH, 91.3 FM
As you will quickly discover, this site is not laden with
"slick" graphics. We are not out to "capture eyeballs", but rather to
engage intellects. This endeavor will be judged a "success" if it can
encourage/"inspire" the participation of you, the visitor to the site.

they are essential to breathe life into any discussion. Articles may be published
anonymously, at the writer's request, but we believe it is preferable that you state who

music are welcome! The WebEditors reserve the right to decline to publish, or to edit for

Material/To Contact Us: |
| Please use the following email address to submit information, questions,
comments, or materials intended for publication. Please send all text within the email
message, NOT as a (dreaded) "Attachment". If a proposed article is very long,
you may break it into "Part 1 of 3", "Part 2 of 3", and so on. The
Editors intend to check for messages at least weekly, but do not expect immediate
responses. We lack the capability to set up a "real-time" "chat room".
