Ridgewood Radio features concert recordings by adventurous bands and experimental musicians and restored archival tapes from private and institutional collections captured at venues large and small across the five boroughs of New York. It is produced by David Weinstein and Outpost Artists Resources operating out of the Ridgewood section of Queens, NY, where you'll find more yellow bricks than on the road to Oz and the cemetery of your choice is never more than a few blocks from home.

I used to review jazz for an audiophile magazine The Audiophile Voice, and also used to get pre-release copies of albums (which makes sense, a they'd like the reviews to come out around the record release). But, I had to stop (to much time commitment on top of my regular routine), and they fairly quickly figured that out and stopped sending them. ECM lasted the longest, but, alas, seems to also have run dry.
