What a wonderful 24 hours we shared here on Eastside Radio in Celebration of International Jazz Day 2023. From midnight Sunday morning to 11:59pm Sunday evening we ran continuous jazz programs from a selection of some of your favourite presenters. And to make matters even more special we celebrated 40 great jazz albums from the past 40 years as part of our 40th year on air since 1983.

We simply have to thank the efforts of jazz lovers Phil James and Mick Paddon as well as the support of our Music Manager Cathy Kirkpatrick for all they did to make this special event happen.
