Jazz without the chat

Sir: I am grateful to Charles Spencer for drawing my attention to the Jazz radio station (Arts, 3 March). If his worst fears are realised about it descending towards a jazz version of Classic FM, he should head for the Parisian station TSF (tsfjazz.com) online. The very small amount of talking will have the added benefit of helping him keep his French up to scratch.
