About the Show
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.
