Welcome to Jazz Matters. Life is a little hectic right now—I'm in the middle of relocating and selling my home. If all goes to plan, a new home and studio should be ready by June or July. Until then, regular shows won't be possible, but I’ll put together the occasional mix when time allows.
This session is filled with music rediscovered while packing—a collection of gems that had slipped to the back of my mind. It’s been a joy to reconnect with these tracks, and I hope you enjoy this March selection as much as I have.
Also don't forget to visit my website, jazzmattersuk.com, where you'll find exclusive content, in-depth blogs and my music player that features the best in Jazz and World Music

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
