ABC Dig Music

Live: 5.05pm - 7pm, Saturday & Sunday
Repeated: Tuesday & Wednesday 2pm and 9pm

'Jazztrack' is the longest-running, and the only national jazz program in Australia, now presented regularly by Mal Stanley. Many of you will know Mal's enthusiasm for jazz through the fine recordings he has made in recent years, and through his support of local talent.

You can now hear ABC Classic FM's Jazztrack on digital radio, right here at ABC Jazz.

Jazztrack will still be heard on ABC Classic FM's analogue signal at the usual time, while ABC Classic FM's digital service will offer new classical music programs during that time-slot.

On Jazztrack you can hear a whole range of jazz from traditional to contemporary...
