After having 3 very hard months to get through and feeling completely drained – music had to take second place for a while – but during that time I had a deep think about Balance – and decided to revert Balance back to its original concept and ideas.
So, Balance Digs Jazz & Beyond will bring you diverse styles of jazz Music, that's uncompromising and bold, linking together favourites, standards, experimental, vintage, new, obscure and sometimes challenging music with excursions into other genres - its music you will rarely hear elsewhere.
Please feel free to get in touch with me as I would love to hear from you with any comments or suggestions - [email protected]
So, from this moment forward, the music will twist and turn to avoid staying in the same musical groove so I can share with you – Jazz and Beyond

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
