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
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 inc Playlists, Sleeve Notes and Interviews.
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.
