Jazz on Radio

Jazz music has a long and storied history on the radio, dating back to the early days of broadcasting. There are many radio stations around the world that specialize in playing jazz music in all its forms.

One of the amazing things about jazz on the radio is the sheer variety of styles that are played. It's huge.

​

No matter what type of jazz you prefer, listening to it on the radio can be a great way to discover new artists and deepen your appreciation for the genre. Many jazz radio shows are hosted by knowledgeable and passionate hosts who offer insights into the music and the musicians who create it.

​

With the rise of internet services, there are now many ways to listen to jazz music besides the radio. However, there's something special about tuning in to a live radio broadcast and experiencing the music as it's being played. For those in Perth, we recommend these:
