Welcome to the first post on the brand new Vitamin J blog! The show has been airing since the summer of 2004 on CHLY 101.7 FM Radio Malaspina, a community-based campus radio station. The community is Nanaimo BC, a Canadian city of 85,000 situated on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island on the Strait of Georgia. The campus is Vancouver Island University, "a dynamic, internationally known university supporting a student population in excess of 18,000 full-and part-time learners, including 1100 international students, over 1000 aboriginal students, and employing over 2,000 faculty and staff." As a radio station it is a unique hybrid that serves both its constituencies quite well.
Every week this space will contain the playlist (Artist - Album - Selection) from the most recent edition of Vitamin J. There will occasionally be some miscellaneous ramblings on the jazz scene here in Nanaimo (and elsewhere), some of the featured tracks/performers from the show, and whatever else is deemed worthy to toss onto the ol' blog. Thanks for tuning in, and hope you enjoy the ride.
Bright moments to all...
