Big bands and swing

Big-band arrangements and swing rhythms connect a large ensemble sound with a buoyant dance feel. Brass and reeds can answer one another while the rhythm section holds the music together, with room for a featured solo or voice. This combination points toward orchestral jazz textures, rather than treating all older recordings as one undifferentiated oldies category.

Classic Hits radio

Classic hits centres on familiar songs from earlier release periods and can cross the boundaries of pop, rock, soul and dance. Unlike a single-decade format, the label alone does not define a precise range of years. It points toward a recognisable back catalogue rather than a selection built exclusively around current chart releases.
