Victorian Jazz Club
Saturday 2 October, 2021 marked the 45th birthday of the Victorian Jazz Club’s “Jazz On A Saturday” maintaining its position as Australia’s longest continuously broadcast radio jazz program.
At 4pm on the first Saturday of October 1976, just three months after the launch of Australia’s first regularly-licensed public broadcaster 3CR, Roger and John broadcast the first edition of Jazz On A Saturday from 3CR’s primitive first studios in suburban Armadale.
Then (as now), it was presented by the Victorian Jazz Club, which was founded 1968 with the aim of promoting and providing opportunities for the live performance of jazz. Thankfully, that is
happening again. with COVID restrictions eased – details during the program.
They look forward to your company at 4pm in Melbourne on Saturday afternoon on 855 AM, on Digital Radio as 3CR Digital, They also welcome the global audience listening via 3CR's live streaming and Audio on Demand.
And our grateful thanks to the Victorian Jazz Club and the many generous 3CR listeners for the support that has helped keep us (and 3CR) on air over that time.
