    I'm very new to the acid jazz scene but over here in England (certainly
    outside London) most people don't understand the idea of acid jazz (typical
    quote "I associate Corduary with acid jazz but I don't like them so I assume
    that I won't like the genre"). We do have Straight No Chaser, Gilles
    Peterson's "Worldwide" radio show and (in London) his other aj show. I'm
    lucky because I'm only 1/2 hr from cheltenham where there is a great Jazz
    club - Subtone and because I DJ Breakbeat, I know record store owners who
    will recommend stuff for me.

    Radio One (our biggest national radio station) broadcast over the net. If
    you want, Gilles Peterson is on Wednesday nights @12 - 2 and on a slightly
    less aj note, but still highly recommended, Mary Anne Hobbs is on 12-4
    Monday night/tues morning. These are UK times.
