Clare Teal joins Jazz FM
Musician and broadcaster Clare Teal will be presenting a brand new big band and swing show
Last updated 27th Jan 2021
We're proud to announce that musician and broadcaster Clare Teal is joining the station to present the finest in big band and swing every Sunday night for two hours: 'The Clare Teal Show'.
Her first show will be on Sunday 24th January and her weekly two-hour slot will feature music handpicked by Clare - the perfect place to pick up where she left off; as her move follows her departure from the BBC at the weekend after 15 years.
Clare Teal is one of the UK’s premier multiple award-winning female jazz vocalists of her generation. She has collaborated with Sir Van Morrison and Gregory Porter, and has multiple ensembles in which she performs with, from a single pianist or her trio via her mini big band, her 9-piece big band and her 17-piece Hollywood Orchestra!
On joining Jazz FM, Clare says: “I am beyond thrilled to be joining Jazz FM. To find a new home as excited as I am, to share the music I love with like-minded folks, is just brilliant. In addition to celebrating classic older big band, jazz, swing, latin, trad and whatever records I happen to be loving at the moment, I really want to focus on highlighting our fantastic and vibrant British big band, jazz, and swing scene which is as vital and relevant as ever.”
Clare heads up a new look to Sunday evening which also sees a new 9-10pm stranded slot straight after her show that will feature documentaries and other short series across the year. The first of these new shows is a return to Jazz FM for comedian and self-confessed jazz nut Marcus Brigstocke with a second 6-part series of “Jazz Family Trees”.
The Sarah Ward Collection moves to Saturday evening from 6pm
'The Clare Teal Show' will be available every Sunday evening from 7-9pm.
