BBC Blues
If you are unhappy with the current lack of jazz broadcast on BBC Radio please click onto the link below and make your voice heard. Tell the BBC that you want their initials to represent Bix, Bird and Coltrane for at least a couple of hours a week in the form of "The Best of Jazz" being returned to the airwaves.
