Our History
Jazz Jambalaya started broadcasting on February 4th, 2012 as a 2-hour weekly program, airing every Saturday on the Fishbowl Radio Network. The very 1st song played on Jazz Jambalaya was Alphonse Mouzon - 'I'm Glad That You're Here'. Since then, we've played a variety of music within the Jazz genre. Focusing on Soul-Jazz of the 60's, Jazz Fusion from the 70's and 80's, Contemporary, Electronic and Acid Jazz from the 90's 00's. We are also devoted to New Jazz Releases in an effort to keep listeners and devoted Jazz fans with in touch with the very latest in Jazz music.
Jazz Jambalaya has been (and still is) devoted to serving the Dallas-Ft. Worth Community.

In 2014, we started assisting with fundraisers for the non-profit organization 'Turner12' (http://turner12.org) founded by John Carter, which helps underserved students in the southern sector of Dallas, TX become college graduates and productive citizens. We are honored and proud to continue to serving the Turner12 organization in this endeavor to this day.
