A show that’s so unusual, so entertaining; so pacey, that it’s always one of the most talked about and listened to programs on every station it’s played. The Phantom Dancer, DJ’d by 1920s-30s singer Greg Poppleton, is your non-stop mix of swing and jazz from live 1920s-60s radio. Lots of live high energy music, lots of first hand history from original radio broadcasts, very little talk. How does he do it? CBAA Best Music Show Award 2007. Finalist 2016.

Jazz Made in Australia
JMIA showcases the talents of Australian jazz musicians and composers with what’s current. Occasionally an interview, a focus on a particular event or a look back brings into conversation the history of jazz in Australia.
With Australian artists being recognised at international levels in awards and competitions, host Paula Langlands celebrates all that Australian jazz.
If you are a musician with a new recording, some interesting archival material, news of National interest such as a major performance, jazz event or tour — or you wish to get information or comment on the program, please contact Amy direct on <jazzmadeinaustralia@eastsidefm.org>.
Hot, Sweet & Jazzy
Music with a jazz feel along with entertaining and informative chat.
The presenters have a range of expertise and styles of humour!
You’ll hear recordings from the 1920s onwards, from current musicians in Australia and elsewhere, and in particular styles such as neo-swing.
Jazzy invites listeners to relax deep into the passenger seat, and shines the headlights towards the people behind the players.
Hot, Sweet and Jazzy is a program that brings the fun back into music. A team of presenters brings you interesting and enjoyable music, much of it not available on Australian radio, along with entertaining and informative chat.
The music is jazz and jazz-aligned, but covering many possible definitions of ‘jazz’! There are no limits to the program’s musical sources, but Australian musicians provide an important part of the material. The show is probably most suitable for afternoon and evening.
Hot, Sweet and Jazzy’s presenters are all music enthusiasts and many are practising musicians:

” Peter Fogarty: music lover; arranger; singer in jazz bands.

” Ken Hirst: former bass player with jazz and blues bands; leader of his own Neo Swing Band – Swing It!
