About Jazz FM
Jazz FM is the UK's national station for jazz, soul and blues. Its playlist moves from the great names of classic jazz to modern soul, smooth grooves and new artists from the British jazz scene, creating a sophisticated soundtrack for any time of day. On this page you can listen to Jazz FM live online for free.
A station with a long history
Jazz FM first went on air in London in 1990 on 102.2 FM, bringing jazz to commercial radio for the first time in the capital. After that frequency was relaunched under a different name in the mid-2000s, the Jazz FM brand returned in 2008 as a digital station, available on DAB and online. It has since become a respected name in British music, supporting artists through events such as the Jazz FM Awards. Today Jazz FM is part of Bauer Media Audio UK, and its stations are available through the Rayo app.
What you will hear
Jazz FM plays a broad and welcoming mix. You can expect classic recordings from legends such as Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and John Coltrane, smooth jazz and soul from artists like George Benson and Anita Baker, blues favourites, and fresh music from contemporary British and international jazz musicians. Its presenters include knowledgeable music lovers who share stories about the artists and recordings, and specialist programmes in the evenings and at weekends explore particular styles and eras in more depth. Daytime is smooth and relaxing, while evenings are a chance to dig a little deeper.
