Welcome to the March 2024 edition of Jazz Matters! I've curated a playlist brimming with diversity and intrigue, aiming to captivate your musical senses. One artist that’s truly a personal discovery for me is Laurie Anderson. Her work, especially "Born, Never Asked," left me spellbound upon my first listen. It's a remarkable piece that compelled me to explore more of her captivating repertoire. Be sure to visit her website (https://laurieanderson.com/about/) and delve deeper into her mesmerizing soundscapes.

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.
