Intro
I wasn’t planning on a second mix this month… but after digging through my collection, I found some absolute gems that I had to share! 🌟
This surprise jazz mix is a blend of deep cuts, timeless classics, and fresh new sounds. To close it out, I’ve included two stunning tracks from Deborah Sijlkhuis—her fearless, emotional style is a breath of fresh air.
Want the full breakdown? Head over to my blog for track insights and stories behind the music!
Hit play, dive in, and let the music take you places.

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 & Playlists, Sleeve Notes, Interviews, and Music Videos.
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.
