RADIO INTERVIEW WAS GREAT!
Had a GREAT time chatting with Vince Outlaw of KSDS-FM in San
Diego, CA last night. Super nice guy, very good questions. Gotta
tell ya -- it is WILD hearing your own music on the radio. I
listened in to the station for a couple of hours before the
interview and was pleasantly suprised when they played Corcovado.
Melissa [wife] and I were as giddy as a couple of school girls!
Listener response during the interview has been great as well!
We got our first KSDS interview-based
order while the show was still in progress! During the interview,
Vince played Gin
and Tonic and Classically
Tamed. The interview

AND OUR NEXT CALLER IS SCOTT FROM LOS GATOS. . .
San Diego's Jazz 88 (KSDS) is going to interview Scott during
their July 17th "The New Jazz Thing" show! Here's
what Publicity Director and on-air personality Claudia Russell
said about the Guitjazzathon CD:
"The beauty of Scott Whitney's composing and playing is
that it doesn't require categorization. It's just good music.
His style is original and successfully merges the variety of
influences he's had. Jazz? Classical? Latin? It's all blended
on Guitjazzathon in a sound that keeps you engaged from note
one, all the way through to the final beat on the final track.
No impersonations here, this is Scott Whitney."
The interview is scheduled for 7:20PM. It can be heard on the
Internet. Here is the PRESS RELEASE.
