‘Live From the Blue Whale' New Weekly Music Television Series Launches Across the U.S. September 20

Showcasing
today's biggest and brightest stars blending jazz, blues, hip-hop, funk
and soul, "Live From the Blue Whale," a new weekly 30-minute music
television series, will begin airing on September 20, today announced
three-time Emmy Award-winning producer Frederick Smith Jr., founder and
president of All Music Television Network. Over the next three months,
the show will be available online and to 25 television stations reaching
20+ million households in many of the top 150 DMAs, including New York
and Los Angeles.

Hosted by Los Angeles radio personality LeRoy Downs, the Jazzcat, "Live
From the Blue Whale" is expertly curated and produced with exclusive
interviews and intimate performances by emerging and established
artists. Operated from a musician's perspective by Korean-born vocalist
Joon Lee, the Blue Whale in Downtown Los Angeles is widely regarded as
the home to the sounds of a new generation of groundbreaking artists. 

"With hot young musicians such as Gerald Clayton, Kamasi Washington,
Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin leading the way, we believe ‘Live From
the Blue Whale' will be the start of a new era for this most resilient
and beloved style of music," said Smith. "Jazz is America's original art
form and continues to reflect our diverse culture."

GRAMMY®-nominated pianist Gerald Clayton and guitarist Matthew Stevens
are profiled in the first show, with saxophone sensation Kamasi
Washington, trumpeter Marquis Hill, pianist Kris Bowers and 2015
Monterey Jazz Festival artists and highlights slated for future
episodes.

"Live From the Blue Whale" will air after "Saturday Night Live" (NBC)
and "The Late Late Show with James Corden" (CBS) in select markets. The
series will also be available by subscription online at allmusictelevision.net and on digital platforms including Roku, Apple TV and other OTT devices and services.

Aimed to appeal to millennials and boomers alike, the program presents
rising stars and music legends captured live in concert and in
conversation at the world-famous jazz club and festivals around the
globe. Downs, a radio program host on KJazz 88.1 FM, will also debut the
online jazz radio station "Sounds and Colors Radio" in September.
"LeRoy Downs is passionate about jazz and brings the experience of a
lifetime of listening," said 2015 NEA Jazz Master Charles Lloyd.
