AccuJazz.com is programmed by Lucas Gillan, a working musician and avid jazz fan.
“There are a lot of different types of jazz fans out there, and I know they don't all want to hear the same mix of music that a traditional FM station plays. I want to create a place where any jazz fan can find a channel they'll always love listening to, as well as make some new discoveries," Gillan said.
