I’m in the process of digitizing my music collection, and it’s taken ages and ages as I’m copying it in real-time and all my digitized music is stored using wav files, and of course I'm coming across music I’ve not listened to for some time.
So I decided to do a series of mixes Forgotten Treasures, based upon some of my rediscoveries, there is no planning, no genre, no sequencing to balance the mix, it's just some of my forgotten treasures.
The music I love ranges from Rare Grooves, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Jazz Dance, NuJazz, Soul, Funk, Balearic and World Music, and past, present and future flavours from far and wide with a little nod to the left side and a little sprinkling of electronica.
My playlists are always uncompromising, bold and sometimes challenging, often changing in tempo and style to avoid getting stuck into the same groove
Bringing together music I think the world needs to hear, and mainstream music channels so often overlook.

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
