It’s easy to speak in superlatives when discussing The Jazz Groove. It's my daily companion, the music station I go to first, last and always
—Bill Thompson, Listener
The Jazz Groove is a relatively new, non-profit, non-commercial jazz radio service that has been experimenting with different ways of presenting jazz radio online and is now making its official debut on AllAboutJazz.com. With a rare jazz collection exceeding 15,000 recordings spanning eight decades, each hour of Jazz Groove music is hand-selected, meticulously curated, and artfully blended.

The Jazz Groove specializes in Laid-Back Jazz, delivering a consistent gentle swing from artists like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Kenny Burrell, Wynton Marsalis, Wes Montgomery, Brad Mehldau, and thousands more.

Jazz Groove founder Paul Goldstein said: “Working in jazz radio for 30+ years, I've never experienced a more passionate and engaged audience this one. Emails, calls, and letters we receive from Jazz Groove listeners and supporters express a level of passion that is off the charts."

To prove that's not PR fluff, you can listen to hundreds of Jazz Groove listeners share their feelings about the station in audio testimonials here. For example, listener contributor Bill Thompson, said, “It’s easy to speak in superlatives when discussing The Jazz Groove. It's my daily companion, the music station I go to first, last and always." Hard, core jazz afficandos are not the only ones who support The Jazz Groove as listener Jeff told us, “This is the first radio station that plays jazz that my family hasn't asked me to turn off. We listen to it every day; for that reason we've made a donation, in fact, it was my family that said it would be a good idea."

Anyone can listen to The Jazz Groove for free, and listeners who contribute become members who receive a wealth of benefits, including Pure Music (no talk), Hi-Res Audio (lossless FLAC), Song Skip Functionality, and Unlimited Access. For a limited time, The Jazz Groove is offering AllAboutJazz.com readers a free membership, during which time they'll enjoy all those member perks. Sign up here for the free membership (while offer lasts).
