Linn is great sound quality but I am not a huge fan of their brand of Jazz.

 

I like Dinner Jazz - particularly whilst I am eating my dinner !

I use 101.ru Jazz.

I generally prefer their output because they actually do Jazz (rather than just 'trad' or 'easy' or 'smooth' or 'fusion' or 'Latin'... etc.).

Listen to it first before you make any judgement based on the bitrate alone (ok it's 128k but that should not put you off as the quality is very high).

I listen to a lot of 101.ru's various 'stations'. (Especially Blues and Jazz and Soul/Funk.)

Jazz FM for me.

Though for some reason the SQ of certain shows like the nightly Dinner Jazz is often of poorer-than-average quality compared to the SQ of the station as a whole. I don't know why that should be.
