Adroit Jazz Underground

Adroit Jazz Underground sits second among the 1,481 stations in the United States with pages here, close enough to the head of the list that most people browsing the country reach it early.

Adroit Jazz Underground carries 342 recorded opens in the public directory, which puts it among the small group of streams that directory clients open constantly. Counts at this level are rare: the great majority of the 14,425 stations with pages here are in single or double figures.

6 stations in the United States lead with avant-garde and Adroit Jazz Underground is one of them, though the tag does not make the country's headline list. Across the whole directory 8 stations use it first, so the rail below runs well past United States.

Twice the local median and then some: 320 kbps where the United States' stations typically manage 128. Whether you can hear the difference depends entirely on what you are listening on, but the headroom is there.

The audio comes from icecast.walmradio.com:8443, and 10 other stations in the United States are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of the United States' listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.
