JAZZ BROADCASTS
Sir,-Why is it that programmes for jazz-lovers should be held so late at night? Sessions of classical music are broadcast throughout the day until 9 or 10 p.m. Very few jazz programmes are broadcast before 9.30 p.m. Stations 2YH and 4YZ used to close down at 10 p.m
and both played jazz from 9.30 untiff 10 p.m. When their closing time wag made 10.30 their jazz programmes were pushed forward half-an-hour. With most stations the weekly jazz session is, placed almost last on the programme. I am, however, indebted to the NZBS for their frequent playing of jazz records unavailable to the general public, ese pecially records by Stan Kenton, the King Cole Trio, and Ted Heath. Also congratulations for the broadcasts of New Zealand dance bands, especially Martig Winiata from 3YA and the John Mc Kenzie Trio from 1YA.
