Jazz FM’s movers & shakers of business and jazz programme “Jazz Shapers” has gone into its fourth year as law firm Mishcon de Reya have signed a significant new twelve-month contract to continue as the programme partner.

The programme features music from the shapers of jazz, blues and soul alongside interviews with their equivalent in the business world - entrepreneurs who have defined and shaped business categories and ways of operating. Jazz Shapers is hosted by Elliot Moss, Mishcon de Reya’s Director of Business Development. Guests to date have included high profile entrepreneur Luke Johnson, City super-woman Nicola Horlick and advertising guru Sir John Hegarty.

Jazz Shapers has grown since its inception with monthly programmes on British Airways High Life, a series of original animated films created from the audio interviews, regular events and promotion in the FT and City AM.

Jazz FM’s Partnership Director, Claire Stacey said “Mishcon de Reya understands how to build an engaging media property. The programme is an integral part of their brand strategy, and celebrates entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial thinking. Combined with great jazz, this is an entertaining and inventive collaboration which is totally in tune with our listeners.”

Programme host and Mishcon de Reya Director of Business Development Elliot Moss said “Jazz FM have been, and continue to be, a great partner for our Firm. Their audience, full of decision makers and influencers in the world of business, is perfect for us. Over the last three years I've met and interviewed some truly inspiring men and women through Jazz Shapers – I look forward to many more."
