“Traditional" is a channel that carefully mixes the inimitable, influential legends of the past with the young lions of today.
It’s Bill Evans, Miles Davis, and Marian McPartland. It’s Terence Blanchard and Marcus Roberts, too. It’s the most complete classic jazz channel we’ve ever heard of.
It’s adventure and balance. It’s cool, with a touch of bop.
The haunting voice of Billie Holiday singing “Strange Fruit” or the soothing, sultry tones of Diana Krall performing “Peel Me a Grape.”
Chet Baker and Nat Cole. Cassandra Wilson. Tony Bennet. Sinatra. Ella. Sarah. These voices define the word “timeless.” The jazz vocal is the bridge that brings people who appreciate music to the world of jazz.
Suites and shorter choral works are given preference on this channel devoted to fans of Early Music/Recording. It features original instruments and historically authentic performances.
Listen here for symphonies, concertos, tone poems, and overtures. Enjoy string quartets, classical guitar pieces and piano sonatas. The time period is 1750 to the present, with an emphasis on the classical and Romantic eras-Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak.
There are also selections from the more accessible streams of 20th century classical music - Richard Strauss, early Stravinsky, Rachmaninov, and the more popular Copeland.
