Can any fellow jazz-on-the-radio fans help? I wouldn't get too excited about this if you were imagining that there was some kind of connection between theJazz and the "reborn" JazzFM. This latter sounds just like the broadcast station JazzFM which we used to have in London and SE England - precious little of the output could even remotely be called "Jazz". All I have heard so far dipping in and out of it for a day or so is stuff like Swingout Sister and Maria Muldaur, hardly the Miles, Mingus, Bird, etc that one might want from a Jazz station. I recall that theJazz during its short lived existence offered decent doses of serious jazz rather than this dreary stuff which JazzFM is playing.
