Radio JFSR

JFSR, short for Jazz Funk Soul Radio, has broadcast around the clock since 2010. Its programme is made by a team of music enthusiasts and presenters contributing from the UK, the United States and Europe. The station's identity is anchored in jazz, funk and soul, with knowledgeable hosts giving the selections context rather than leaving the music as an anonymous sequence.

The published schedule reaches into boogie, rare groove, modern soul, neo-soul and soulful house. Jazz programmes sit alongside R&B selections, while other shows explore reggae, Latin sounds and the relationship between older records and current releases. This breadth comes from specialist programmes within a recognisable musical family, with each host able to bring a particular area of knowledge to the service.

The presenting team includes Jagjit Chadha, Alice Hill, Jim Forbes, Claire Beverly, Brian Power and Rainer Mause, alongside many other selectors. That range of individual contributors is central to JFSR's approach: the station recruits experienced hosts who can communicate with listeners as well as choose records. Its programme community therefore includes both people seeking newly released independent soul and collectors following a particular presenter's taste across older and less familiar recordings.

A weekly UK Soul Chart feature gives contemporary soul a regular place, and the station also maintains its own events and presenter team. Its stated support for new independent artists complements an appreciation of established music. JFSR is a choice for listeners interested in how soul, funk and jazz traditions continue through new recordings, record collections and the work of individual radio hosts.
