Cool Blue jazz radio used to be on the FM frequency in Auckland. But finding that it was too expensive and riddled with boring advertising, the station pulled from the FM airwaves and moved itself to online streaming audio. This not only opened the station to visitors, listeners and fans from around the world, but also allowed them to nix advertising by using listener donations and sponsorships to keep the site, and the station, running!

Cool Blue jazz radio is not just about jazz music. The core of the station is both jazz and blues, and they hold to their name and their mission by including hits from genres like R & B, Rock n Roll, Folk, Americana, Cuban, Brazilian, Celtic, European, African and much, much more. They pay homage to all smooth artists, whether jazz or not, and embraces the roots of music. The variety playlist includes hits from artists like Lonnie Donnegan, Ritchie Havens, Leonard Cohen and Nina Simone…and don’t forget those downtown piano favorites.

The best part about Cool Blue is the lack of overbearing, over-repeated Top 40 hits. Tune in to Cool Blue 96.1 FM for an advertisement free, multi-genre variety playlist of great music!
