Jeannie McInnes has been a devoted “jazz dag” and presenter for many years. As a life member of Sydney Jazz Club, she has a broad knowledge of the Sydney traditional jazz scene. With eclectic tastes in music listening from classical, folk, world and especially jazz, her programs present from the wide gamut of jazz, all based around a theme. These could range from 1920s New Orleans, right through to contemporary Australian performers – always diverse and varied, & as noted by a listener “not paranoid or biased to one form – a true pro”.
