Why are so many things named jazz?
There's a jazz apple, jazz aftershave, jazz car, jazz spreadsheet software, even a range of non-alcoholic beer called jazz. Why are so many things called jazz that are not jazz? There are more than you'd think. The UK intellectual property office lists over 290 trademarks for things called jazz - everything from jazz garlic to jazz wigs to a jazz wettable powder biofungicide. Russell Finch talks to comedian Stewart Lee.
First broadcast on Things Called Jazz That Are Not Jazz, 30 August 2016.
