A GLOBAL JAZZ STATION - where YOU CAN DISCOVER NEW MUSIC TODAY
About the JazzNet247 Radio Europe Project
The JazzNet247 (Jazz Network available 24/7) Project is a not-for-profit jazz project which has been helping the jazz genre and the musicians since 1994 and is one of the longest running internet radio shows. Unlike commercial radio stations who play the music to make a financial gain, therefor playing it safe with the most popular artists, we are not restricted like they are and we genuinely play 'the best of the latest releases' and tracks which MAY BE NEW TO YOU from the past 8 decades.
We are not the biggest but hopefully one of the 'brightest' non commercial stations and we have listener base in
109 countries (03|2021) and we are currently the No.1 Jazz Station on our national jazz charts. We especially showcase the music of the indie artists and labels whose music doesn't always get the recognition that it deserves.
In our opinion broadcasting music is all about touching the emotions of the listener in such a way that they want to crossover from 'hearing a song' to actually 'listening to it' and touching their inner self. If we can touch the soul of just one listener with a song then we have passed on a gift that is so rare in this lifetime.
JazzNet247 Radio Europe has 'no commercial funding and is self funded for the benefit of others'. HOWEVER YOU can help us and the jazz genre by passing on the link to our shows to your like-minded jazz friends, perhaps they will enjoy our menu each week and also pass on the message to their friends.
By ' working together as a whole ' we can do so much for the jazz genre and the artists who continue to record music for our listening pleasure. 'The sum of the whole is always greater than those of the individual parts'.
We have now 8 JAZZ CHANNELS on JAZZNET247 RADIO EUROPE with something for most jazz fans to explore, view the menu of shows on our HOME PAGE.
