HOLDING THE LEASH

Jane Purcell Dashow
Jane has been in radio longer than she should admit. Perhaps we should list it in dog years so you can’t figure it out so easily. Seriously, Jane started out in radio when she was a teenager and has worked a ton of different formats. She has been through many zip codes in her radio travels but came home to New York in the late 90’s to work at the station she grew up listening to….they changed format two years later. Timing is everything. So, Jazzzdog was truly born out of thin air….or after a Hurricane at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in 2002. Jane is also an actress but Brak has consistently gotten better bookings in TV and film (and that ISN’T a joke). She’s in therapy about the last bit.

Cindy Budd
Cindy is a longtime record promoter who dealt with the good, the bad and the ugly…otherwise known as rock artists. Eventually Cindy wanted more…more variety in musical styles that is and something that would give her “claaassss.” So, Cindy was misguided enough to ask her friend Jane, “Do you need any help?” in September of 2003. Jane said yes and Cindy has been the sunshine in Jazzzdog’s pocket for years now. The girls are old friends and share a love of music, radio’s potential and dogs. Ella, her pup, assists Cindy at her LA office. Ella is not an actor like Brak but is fielding offers from agents in West Hollywood. Cindy wanted you to know that she has three cats but has not become a crazy old cat woman (yet).

Brak
Brak, the official Jazzzdog mascot, is the inspiration of the name of the company. He is more of a song and dance man but doesn’t shy away from be bop and swing. Brak prefers trips to the dog run to watching mamma set up a national interview schedule but he is a very patient pooch. And Brak is the only dog we have ever known who knows he has to be quiet when the “on air” light is on.
