My Jazz FM...Established 1990

They were there at the start and are still part of it today. Listen to Chris Philips, Helen Mayhew and Jez Nelson tell the stories of the early days of Jazz FM, plus play the music that has influenced their presentation over the last 30 years as we start our landmark anniversary celebrations.

Throughout 2020 - Jazz FM's 30th Anniversary year - we are celebrating our landmark year through the music and artists that we have made famous with a series of special documentaries, one-off programmes, live recordings, concerts, panel shows and event drama every Saturday between 9-10 pm.

To kick off the new year we present Established 1990 – My Jazz FM; a three-part special programme in which one of our three remaining Day One launch presenters reflect on their 30 years with Jazz FM playing music they’ve championed and loved on the air along with stories and nostalgia.
