The Next Big Ring

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The hot new ring tone you hear might not come from Bubba Sparxxx but from Chet Baker. Blue Note announced that they’re releasing jazz hits as ring tones for an older demographic. Can ring tones appeal to older people too? Tune in as we talk tones, and take your calls, with executives at Billboard and Blue Note. Also, we’ll have a live performance with Rain Phoenix and her psychedelic pop band, Papercranes.
