Stevland Hardaway Morris, known as Stevie Wonder, is credited as a pioneer and influence by musicians across a range of genres that includes rhythm and blues, pop, soul, gospel, funk, and jazz. Born: 13 May 1950, Saginaw, Michigan, United States.

Stevie Wonder has given me so much pleasure over many years – this mix is my personal nod of respect to a man of fantastic talent.

To give this mix a bit of a twist, all of the music in this mix is either a re-edit, remix, or a cover version of Stevie has contributed to it, I could have made this mix hours long but that is for another day – I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I had putting it together.

Happy Birthday Stevie from all of us.

MCR.

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.
