Jazz MattersJazz Matters Mix - March 2025Welcome to Jazz Matters. Life is a little hectic right now—I'm in the middle of relocating and selling my home. If all goes to plan, a new home and studio should be ready by June or July. Until then, regular shows won't be possible, but I’ll put together the occasional mix when time allows.
This session is filled with music rediscovered while packing—a collection of gems that had slipped to the back of my mind. It’s been a joy to reconnect with these tracks, and I hope you enjoy this March selection as much as...

Jazz MattersMESTIZO SOUNDS PRESENTS FOLK TALESThe new programme by Mestizo Sounds focuses on folk music, mainly sixties and seventies. The idea for this programme is due to the new feature film “A Complete Unknown” about Bob Dylan's early days until he abandons the folk structures. The Folk scene was the catalyst for the most brilliant composers in the music revolution of the sixties. I hope the listener appreciates the selected music and agrees that Folk Music Matters! Soon, a new programme featuring more contemporary folk music will follow.

In this medley, I'll take you on a musical journey that blurs the borders between continents. I’ll kick things off with a track steeped in the rhythms of African Latin music and bring it full circle with a powe...

Welcome to Jazz Matters, where I invite you to celebrate the music that means the world to me. This month’s show is deeply personal, as it is dedicated to the memory of my father.
I’ve been quiet since early June, as my father had been battling illness, and sadly, I lost him recently. This month’s show is a tribute to him—a man whose life was also immersed in music. Although his taste gravitated towards country and classical, somehow, we always connected over the timeless sounds of Steely Dan...

As I digitised my music collection from cassette tape, reel to reel and CD, I stumble upon a trove of music that had long evaded my ears, having been tucked away awaiting rediscovery, music that has been buried beneath the layers of time lay a wealth of musical gems that had slipped from my regular rotation. ‘’Forgotten Treasures" was born, a celebration of the overlooked and neglected tunes that once graced my ears.

Jazz MattersJazz Matters Digs Black Jazz Records - Vol 2This is the second in a series of music selections inspired by the music from Black Jazz Records.
The founders were Gene Russell and Dick Schory who created the record label around 1969 and released albums from 1971 to 1975, promoting the talents of young African American jazz musicians and singers
With the turn of the turn-of-the-seventies and the emergence of revolutionary developments from Electric Miles, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane and
John Coltrane, the funky mutations of soul and jazz, Black Jazz Records took full advantage of all the possibilities that lay ahead for jazz.

Jazz MattersBalance is Thinkin’ About Trilok GutuI first discovered Trilok Gurtu's music around 25 to 30 years ago when it was playing in a record store. It was like my soul instantly connected with his music, and I've been following his work ever since.
About a decade later, I had the incredible opportunity to back up Trilok in a performance. Let me tell you, he left me completely awestruck. During the sound check, he did something mind-blowing – he used his left hand and left foot on a standard drum set while simultaneously using his right hand and foot to create a completely different rhythm on an...

Jazz MattersMESTIZO SOUNDS PRESENTS LA MOVIDALa Movida, the artists and the music that changed Spain (1978 - 1983).
This programme is a particular story, my vision of a time when the young people in Spain took over after the dictator's death. It, maybe, is an innocent account. Of course, the young did not take power. But without their artistic contribution, modern Spain would not have happened so fast. Music was the language in the creation of a new Spain. "La Movida" was enthusiastic, creative, irreverent and exuberant as never seen before. It happened in Madrid as well as all around the country. T...

Jazz MattersBalance is Thinkin’ about Jeff Beck With profound sadness, I heard the news of Jeff Beck’s passing 0n 10 January 2023.
His technique was unique. His imagination was limitless and he was the ultimate guitar players' player – A towering giant in the guitar world and an inspiration to the heroes of the instrument
Jeff Beck's willingness to showcase emerging musical talent paid dividends with the addition of 21-year-old virtuoso bassist Tai Wilkenfield to his live band in 2007, with the same lineup touring the world in 2009 with a memorable live performance filmed at Ronnie Scott's in London.
I first saw Jeff beck whe...

Jazz MattersBalance Digs Brazil -Nov 2022This month's Balance Digs Brazil has some absolutely beautiful music that moves me as I hope it will you – and in amongst this mix is Miriam Makeba from South Africa with her version of Brazilian Jorge Ben Jor’s “Xica da Silva” (1978) - · Its a homage to Chica da Silva an 18th Century woman born into slavery who later became a prominent figure in Brazilian society. Ben’s version is gorgeous and is hard to top, but Miriam Makeba ‘s hauntingly beautiful cover, released two years later is just stunning.

In 1965 he was recruited by John Coltrane and helped push the boundaries of music forward into uncharted areas of sonic and spiritual exploration with his deep soulful expressive playing.
I have seen Pharoah several times throughout the years and built a reasonable collection of his music and spent countless hours listening as he took me to places of discovery.
