Now, the music website is on the eve of launching its latest weekly
show Jazzed and
Blue: Profiles in Blues and Jazzon Sunday, June 12, 2011

show will be hosted by Rockwired founder Brian Lush and will be
available for both streaming and download at Rockwired.com.
“Personally, I am truly excited to be getting this show off the
ground!” confesses Lush “Along with all of the excitement is a great
deal of anxiousness as well. Jazz and Blues are nothing new to me but
to build a show around these sounds is something else. Adding to the
pressure is having a legend like Diane Schuur on the premiere show”
The premiere edition
of Jazzed and Blue
will feature music and interviews from Grammy winner Diane Schuur, the versatile acoustic
jazz sounds of the Washington D.C.- based band Veronneau and the earnest musicality
of jazz pianist Randell K.

Véronneau is an acoustic, song-based
group playing Latin Jazz, Gypsy Swing and much more. Equally at home in
an intimate jazz club, world music or folk festival, Véronneau are
audience favorites performing in English, French and Spanish. Lynn
Véronneau lights up the stage,
engaging the audience with her vocal interpretations. The acoustic
guitars of Ken Avis and David Rosenblatt and percussion of Pete Walby
provide the rhythm,
harmony and energy to propel the music from Brazilian samba, to French
chanson to standards of The American Songbook. Together they bring
fluidity and playfulness to the tunes. The multi-national band performs
music inspired by jazz from around the world. Pieces such as "Blue
Skies," "La Mer," and "Like the Gentle Rain” reflect their distinctive
original sound, authentic but never conventional. Véronneau's first
album release Joie
de Vivre (Joy of Living) is sure to thrill. ViSiT THE BAND AT THEiR

Randell K. is a jazz performer
on the rise. He has been nominated for the Los Angeles Music award for Jazz Artist of the Year of 2011.
Simple categorization often seems futile. But this diversification has
enabled him to collaborate with an array of musical talents. In
conceiving his CD he was privileged to be produced by people with
different but very extensive musical backgrounds. Keg Johnson and William Zimmerman are both
pioneering producers who’ve collectively worked with the likes of Will Smith,Levert, L.L. Cool J, The Spinners, The Whispers, Gladys Knight. All three have put
their distinctive marks on Randell K’s tracks. ViSiT RANDELL AT HiS WEBSiTE
