91.5 KUNV Jazz and More is your #1 local smooth jazz station, but what is smooth jazz and what makes it different from jazz as a whole?

Well, smooth jazz blends genres like pop, R&B, and blues into music for more diverse listening and expression. Jazz is known for its complexity and for pushing boundaries. Smooth jazz is more for easy listening, and suits our radio station perfectly.

So keep tuning in to smooth jazz and blues holidays, and for the rest of the year with 91.5 KUNV Jazz and More, Las Vegas' #1 local smooth jazz radio station.
