AccuJazz Internet radio continues its weekly roll-out of new, creatively programmed jazz channels with “Decade: Pre-1940," a radio stream exclusively playing jazz recorded before 1940.



For jazz fans who don't know much about what happened before bebop, the new channel is an essential education. The play list includes a variety of early jazz styles. Freewheeling New Orleans jazz by Jelly Roll Morton, raucous big band swing by Duke Ellington, and French gypsy jazz by Django Reinhardt all have a place on the channel.



The channel is the third in AccuJazz's decade category, joining channels devoted to the music of the '50s and '60s. AccuJazz will eventually roll-out five more decade channels, making individual channels available for every decade from Pre-1940 to the first decade of the 21st Century.



AccuJazz is an all-Jazz Internet radio station with over two dozen channels (with “Decade: Pre-1940," the total stands at 28). One new channel is added to the line up every week. Recent new channels include “Composers: Monk," “Avant-Garde Jazz," and “Straight Ahead." Listen now at AccuJazz.com.
