KJazz 88.1 — KKJZ in Long Beach — bills itself as America's Jazz and Blues Station. Licensed to the California State University, Long Beach Research Foundation, the frequency has broadcast jazz since 1981, after starting life in 1950 as KLON. Its 30,000-watt signal covers Southern California with straight-ahead, Latin jazz and blues, from Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald to today's players, funded largely by listener-members.
