  • Jazz Matters - Boxes, Memories & Hidden Gems
    As a mix, Boxes, Memories & Hidden Grooves flows like a journal entry, contemplative in places, ecstatic in others, and filled with the kind of sonic texture you can only get when memory meets music. There’s a gentle polarity here, between worldliness and intimacy, structure and space. The mix leans toward jazz fusion, spiritual jazz, and global jazz but it’s more about vibe than genre. Think forgotten fusion from Scandinavia, cinematic jazz-rock from Indonesia, soulful beat-led explorations, and the kind of live recordings that put you in the room. Whether you’re packing, unpacking, or just taking stock of the music that’s shaped you, this hour is designed to move with you.

  • Jazz Matters - From Deep Cuts to Radiant Grooves
    Welcome along. I know I often say this, but truly — there are some real gems in this selection. From deep cuts to timeless moods, this mix brings together moments that continue to inspire me. On a personal note, I’ve started gathering new gear for the studio I’ll be setting up once I’ve settled after the move. Things are shifting, in more ways than one.

  • Jazz Matters - Where the groove is global, the vibes are deep.
    This week, I have a playlist for you that stretches across continents and moods, a rich tapestry of sound that celebrates both discovery and the familiar warmth of timeless artistry. I open with a gem from Russia — "Case" by the Ilugdin Trio, a striking piece that caught me completely off guard in the best way. Dmitry Ilugdin and his trio lay down something deeply melodic, harmonically rich, and full of understated elegance. A real find. Next, I tip my hat to one of my all-time favourite voices in jazz, the ever-cool Patricia Barber. Her track "This Town" is a reminder of why she remains a singular force — cerebral, sultry, and effortlessly hip. Further into the mix, you’ll find some fresh and fiery ensemble work from Clélya Abraham and company, the hypnotic grooves of Sean Khan with jazz legend Peter King and the luminous Heidi Vogel, and a cinematic journey courtesy of the Espen Berg Trio, joined by the haunting trumpet of Mathias Eick on "Vintermørke." And then there's "Eberhard" — a poignant, sprawling tribute by the late, great Lyle Mays. For those who, like me, hold the Pat Metheny Group close to the heart, this is a moving reminder of Lyle’s genius. His musical voice was — and remains — one of the most emotionally intelligent in modern jazz. I close with some adventurous sounds: the genre-bending "El Momento" by Sly5thAve & Roberto Verastegui, the dreamy textures of Rahill’s "Futbol," and an experimental nugget from Drift Lab that plays like a sonic science project in the best sense. This playlist is full of surprises, beauty, groove, and soul — the kind of mix that makes you feel like the world’s a little more connected through sound. So wherever you're tuning in — just press play and let the music take you. Thanks for listening.
