On my podcast, I utilize many promotional tracks for my show from IODA. I’ve gotten great feedback from my listeners and I know why: Independent music is great. I love jazz music and I thought what better way to promote some jazz music than to create some iPhone ringtones! Here are two of my favorite songs in .m4r format to import into iTunes.

• Both Sides of the Fence by Thomas Marriott
• 57th Street Mambo by Bobby Sanabria

Naturally, I want you to support these artists and buy their music. Here is their information.
