FC Jazz was established in 1934 as Porin Pallo-Toverit (PPT for short) by 18 young men who had previously played football in the local sports club Pyrintö.

The founders had strong labour movement background and PPT immediately joined the Finnish Workers' Sports Federation (TUL).

After six more seasons in TUL series PPT joined the FA's divisions permanently in 1955 playing third or fourth tiers up to the 1980s.

Two years later FC Jazz-juniorit was promoted to third tier Kakkonen, which is the lowest national level in Finnish football.
