How do people feel about vocals on Smooth Jazz radio?
At my new "SmoothJazz99.com" I take a "less is more" approach to a lot of the programming, especially the vocals. You'll catch about two vocals per hour, and they'd be by Sade, Steely Dan, & Basia, among others. But they WON'T be by Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, etc.
Is there such a thing as too MANY instrumentals? Am I missing out on some things? Do the Michael Buble's and Diana Kralls of the world belong in the mix?
The vocal end of the format (beyond the no-brainers) is definitely not my strong suit. I love instrumentals. But I also think that one vocal per quarter-hour (which would be more than I'm currently scheduling) may be more suitable.
Your thoughts?
