Giant Step Jukebox / Giles Peterson Worldwide

Giant Step has been one of my favorite record
labels for some time. It was the first stateside
label with major label connections to spotlight
quality soul, jazz, house, funk, Latin, African and
other styles of music--that no one would touch in
the early days. Since then they helped launch
the major-label careers of Macy Gray, Jill Scott,
Nora Jones and many others.

Now they have a feature called Giant Step Jukebox
which is a simple Flash-based player with tons of
archived content. It really drew my attention
because it features (exclusively) the only
US-based place to listen to Giles Peterson's
Worldwide radio program. Originally broadcast on
London's Radio 1, Worldwide is an essential show
to check if you want to hear quality music first.

Sure you can listen from the BBC

website, but sometimes I
have trouble with the connection at my
office so I rarely get to listen to the entire
program. Now with Giant Step's service I can
listen to it (and several others) whenever I
want.Plus a lot of the music being played can be
purchased directly from Giant Step's store.
