The Czech people are jazz lovers, as are the Dutch. Both countries have
decent broadcasts. You might inquire of them via email whether they have or
plan to have jazz brodcasts - can't hurt S.

The VOA Jazz Hour with Willis Conover was superb, he is dead now but you may
be able to find recordings on the net.

Just had a quick listen to these. So far they're certainly not in the same
league as Jazz Radio Berlin. Both are automatic stations with no human
presenter. Too close to elevator-music at times; so I'm off to "Rock
Antenne" for something to wake me up again... Ah, ZZ Top!

Rock Antenne is excellent.

This is an interesting thread that I'm sorry I never thought of to
bring up myself. I recently purchased a short wave radio and,
strictly in the novice stage, to a degree (as in taking a break from
the Royals on AM) enjoy noodleing around with it of a summer evening
outdoors. One finds some good classical music coming out of places
like Germany and Russia but I hadn't had much luck finding jazz. I'll
definetly check out these aforementioned recommendations.

As a basic guide there is a great book that lists ALL short wave
stations and the times they're on among other valuable short wave
info, called "Passport To World Band Radio," Edition 2003, that I
highly recommend. AllDirect.com has it for only about 12 bucks or so,
and of course it's probably available most everwhere else too.

I've just tried to find Jazz Radio Bulgaria using an 80-cm dish in
Reading, England, but, as you suspected, without success. Only just,
though, the 'lock' indicator flashes occasionally when I try to find
this TP.

Agreed, about 'The Jazz Hour'. What about that 'kerlump!' on the drums
that started 'Take the A-train'? Did it belong there or was it grafted
on from a recording of the same piece by Brubeck?

You'll remember 'Music USA' too, I guess? Introduced by 'Coral Reef', by
Les Brown.

Regards,
Nick.

I would like to pick up Radio Cuba or stations from Brazil.

Does anybody know any frequencies in the short wave bands
and what time they broadcast so they can be heard from the UK ?

Thanks for any help!

The VOA had a Jazz program for many years hosted by Lewis Conover. Don't
know if it's still on.
