You will listen to some of the most remarkable Latin musicians from the midsixties to the early seventies such as Eddie Palmieri's La Perfecta, the great Tito Puente, possibly the most popular Latin musician, maestro percussionist Ray Barretto, Johnny Colon, Monguito Santamaria (the son of Cuban conguero Mongo Santamaria), Joe Bataan, the charismatic Filipino New Yorker and innovator of Latin Soul music, Willie Colon, the Nuyorican trombonist and Salsa pioneer (the hard Latin sound of New York), the boogaloo sensations of Pete Terrace, Joe Cuba Sextet or the Lebon Brothers and many more. Music for shaking the hips and enjoying life. Get ready and start clapping your hands to the beat of the congas and trombones. I like it like that!!! Background music includes some excerpts from the following songs

Jazz Matters

Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit hobby project that I’m extremely proud of.

It began life in May 2021 as NuDirections, a weekly radio show on a London community station. That spirit of discovery still runs through everything I do.

But today, Jazz Matters has evolved into a global podcast platform for Jazz and World music lovers — reaching over 40,000 open-minded listeners across 57 countries on more than 24 platforms.2025/6 marks a new era. My love of music has always gone beyond Jazz, so I’ve created two distinct but connected spaces here

Jazz Matters: Podcasts, Playlists and Music Videos.

Jazz Lines: Blogs, Interviews, Gallery & Pulse for Who's Shaping the Scene.

I’m also preparing a full digital relaunch from my new studio, from 1st May 2026, then every Jazz Matters podcast, mix, and special will stream exclusively from my website—no third-party platforms and no algorithms. Until then, you can listen here and on 24+ podcast platforms.

Alongside the music, you’ll find in Jazz Lines, my platform for blogs, interviews, gallery, and pulse that links to things that catch my ear and eye. A bold new chapter begins soon. New location. New music player. New studio.

Jazz Matters. Because the music — and everything around it — truly does.

Enjoy the music I love
