Founded in 1996 under the name Fréquence Jazz, Jazz Radio has grown into one of France’s leading broadcasters dedicated to the rich and evolving world of jazz. From its earliest days, the station set out to make jazz accessible, warm, and welcoming, offering a space where classic standards, modern interpretations, and global influences could coexist. Over time, this vision helped Jazz Radio build a loyal, intergenerational audience drawn to its distinctive blend of heritage and innovation.

Its programming stands out for its curated diversity, spanning traditional jazz, nu‑jazz, soul, funk, blues, groove, and Latin jazz. Through themed playlists, specialist shows, and a refined musical identity, the station delivers an immersive listening experience that resonates throughout the day. Jazz Radio also plays a key role in supporting artists, festivals, and local scenes, strengthening its position as a cultural connector within the French and international jazz communities.

Today, Jazz Radio is recognized as “the radio for all jazz”, a platform that celebrates the genre’s depth, openness, and constant reinvention. Available on FM, DAB+, streaming, and through a wide network of thematic web radios, it accompanies listeners in every moment of life with a warm, timeless sound. More than a station, Jazz Radio has become a musical refuge, a cultural companion, and an essential voice in the contemporary jazz landscape.
