Run by Geoff Harrison, managing
director of TV World Productions Ltd and the brain behind TV
Magicians and TV Puppets, TV Jazz Music is designed to be a hub for
the jazz music industry and its global fan base and is the first
dedicated, 24 hour, jazz music television service.
Discussions are also underway with major jazz clubs and venues in
central London to mount future live streaming feeds from concerts,
allowing jazz fans from around the world to enjoy gigs they are
unable to physically attend.
Geoff says: “It is an honour to be able to provide such a service.
The flexibility of the internet allows us to broadcast material
which is otherwise likely to be lost in the vaults of time, never to
be seen again. TV Jazz Music celebrates the diversity of the jazz
music genre, whilst also providing a relaxing and interesting
programme line up for musicians and non musicians alike.”
There are 3000 plus jazz clubs worldwide and jazz events, from major
festivals to regional and local fixtures, run into the thousands.*
Peter Maguire, who runs Jazz Clubs Worldwide, says: “Jazz is a major
influence in the world – just listen to the background music on a
high percentage of advertising. However, the public in general has
no conception or perception of these facts. It is great that a
channel such as TV Jazz Music now exists, so people all over the
world can be introduced to this excellent genre of music.”
TV Jazz Music is available on the Global Digital Broadcast (GDBTV)
platform, on the Something TV television set-top box service in the
UK and online globally.
