theJazz is a British commercial jazz radio station. The station is run by GCap Media and launched on 25 December 2006 at 09:00[1][2] on the Digital One DAB ensemble, Sky Digital, Virgin Media.[3] and the Internet[4]
The station covers a range of jazz music, including bebop, blues, traditional and modern jazz. GCap stated in its press release that the station "will do for jazz what Classic FM has done for classical music, in making the genre accessible to a UK-wide audience".[3] From Easter, the station will also have presenter-led programming,[5] including Helen Mayhew[6], Jamie Cullum, Mike Chadwick , Digby Fairweather, Jacqui Dankworth and Courtney Pine.[7]
GCap Media has also stated that the station will also expand beyond radio in the services it offers, including podcasts, live concerts and downloads.[3] GCap have also setup a MySpace profile for theJazz to promote the station in the same way that it has done for sister stations such as Chill and Core.
The first fan mail to ever come to theJazz was from Alexander Townsend, an American Harmonica player known as Blue J.[citation needed]
