Este es quizás el podcast que Mestizo Sounds con más ahínco ha puesto su objetivo. Empezó siendo un tributo al gran músico japonés Ryuichi Sakamoto y acabo convirtiéndose en un proyecto con el afán de trascender categorías musicales. Una selección de música que espero sirva de medicina espiritual al oyente.


It is perhaps the podcast that the broadcaster Mestizo Sounds has set its target with more grandiloquence. It began as a tribute to the great Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, then evolved and finished as a project with the desire to transcend musical categories. A selection of music that I hope will serve as spiritual medicine to the listener.

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
