World of Jazz launching on April 30 – Klassiek Centraal

On World Jazz Day, April 30, the Concertzender will launch a second channel at 10 a.m.: World of Jazz. The first broadcast is a special episode of Co de Kloets on Jazz Radio. Perfectly in keeping with the mission of the new online channel, this broadcast is filled with live music by the narrative jazz band and fado singer Magda Mendes.

The world of jazz

Due to the renewed cooperation with Utrecht TivoliVredenburg, the first broadcast was recorded there. Relations with Dutch stages are important to the jazz world. There will be great interest in live performances and young talent.

On the new platform, jazz and world music can be heard in its entirety all day long. Listeners connect with music that is still outside their scope. This makes World of Jazz a flavor enhancer to pull listeners out of their algorithmic bubble.

World of Jazz is distributed through as many Internet channels as possible. For the future, we are working on distribution via digital cable and DAB+.

Party channel

A wide range of music can be heard at the Concertzender, including world music and jazz. The programming on Concertzender remains intact. Previous research by Concertzender revealed that there was no longer any other radio station, especially for jazz. With the launch of World of Jazz, Concertzender bridges this gap and presents a new stage where all fans of jazz and lively world music can immerse themselves.
