Mel Hill

Mell Hill

Mel Hill is well-known as a trumpeter, broadcaster and jazz music writer. An all-round expert who presents a two-hour show packed with classic and contemporary jazz each week...

Mel has been a regular on the Midlands' airwaves for many years, and continues to set the standards in cool!

You can hear his jazz show on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Hereford and Worcester every Wednesday from 7pm.

Mel says: "The format for my weekly jazz show is just about as basic as it gets.

"I work out an order of tracks that appeal to me and - when they're played on-air - I do a spot of chuntering in-between each one!

"Ask me why such a show should have evaded the axe for over two decades, and two reasons come to mind…

"First, I genuinely love virtually every style of jazz, so you're almost certain to hear something right up your alley, plus be offered some alternatives to surprise and intrigue.

"Second, I've clocked up over half a century as a working musician tackling everything from 'Tiger Rag' to 'Cherokee'.

"All those thousands of gigs must have taught me something - if it was only how hard it is to do it right!

"Oh, lastly, I always try to remember that the show isn't about me.

"It's about the music and those of us here in Jazzland who love it.

"Not the master chef then, but the waiter - and I'm happy to be of service!"

Mel Hill's jazz show is broadcast every Wednesday from 7pm on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Hereford and Worcester. You can also listen on demand at a time that suits you.
