Bop City - Jazz Center of the World
Imagine that you are back in the era when jazz was expanding beyond its perceived boundaries - when jazz was an American phenomenon. Imagine that there is a radio station spinning records on the cutting edge of jazz, giving a nod to the origins of jazz and even sneaking in some blues now and then. Bop City is that radio station.
Playing cuts from vintage vinyl LPs, Bop City harkens back to the golden age of jazz. Complete with a few pops and clicks, this is pure jazz radio as it was, and as it always was meant to be.
Why Bop City?
We love classic jazz and we enjoy sharing it with other jazz lovers.
With more and more radio stations dropping classic jazz from their formats, we decided to do something about it by creating Bop City, Vintage Jazz Internet Radio.
And, too much great jazz is out of print. By broadcasting from vintage vinyl LPs we can present a selection of music that is not easily found and rarely heard on the radio.
Enjoy the jazz.
