    Jazz Matter tribute to Eddie Palmieri - 289

    18/08/2025 | 1h 16 mins.
    I’ve just heard the sad news that Eddie Palmieri passed away on 6th August 2025. A true talent, electric on stage and a generous man off it, Eddie’s music has touched so many — including me. I’m paying tribute with a selection of his finest Latin jazz and salsa recordings, from Vamonos Pal’Monte to Revolt – La Libertad L6gico. Join me as we celebrate his genius, his rhythm, and his unforgettable spirit.

    Mestizo Sounds presents Party of My Mind.

    31/05/2025 | 1h 8 mins.
    Welcome to Mestizo Sounds. The new programme is called Party of My Mind. My new music selection looks at the world from a darker perspective.

    For that purpose, I have used more rock music than I usually use in my mixes. The rock of the post-punk scene fits perfectly with this view.

    Post-punk was a very inspiring period of musical creativity and crossing boundaries that still has repercussions today.

    You will find a Playlist and information in the info button and in the blog with more details on the tracks selected.

    I hope you enjoy listening.

About Jazz Matters
I built Jazz Matters as my home for contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, and world music — and now it’s also home to a small number of guest shows and mixes from people I rate. Expect contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, and global sounds — with tracklists, long reads, interviews, and playlists that go deeper than the usual. Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit hobby project I’m extremely proud of. It began in May 2021 as a weekly radio show on a London community station, and that spirit of discovery still guides everything I do. Today it reaches 40,000+ open-minded listeners across 57 countries on 24+ platforms. In 2026, I’m taking things up a gear with clear sections: JM Studio Notes, the Music Player & Show Notes inc Playlists, Sleeve Notes and Interviews. A full digital relaunch from my new studio follows — and after that, Jazz Matters podcasts and mixes will be exclusive to this website. A bold new chapter begins soon. New location. New studio. New player. Jazz Matters — because the music, and everything around it, truly does.
