Jazz Matters

Welcome to Jazz Matters – your gateway to the evolving world of Jazz and World Music. I created this online music service and platform to dive deep into the ever-shifting DNA of Jazz and World Music, blending the timeless with the avant-garde.

Each month, I bring you an exclusive showcase, with weekly selections that pull together sounds from diverse cultures, genres, and eras. Here, you’ll discover music that’s bold and uncompromising – from celebrated standards to experimental gems, vintage classics to fresh new finds. I spotlight the rare, the obscure, and the unclassifiable – music that defies categorisation but finds a home under the wide-reaching banner of "Jazz."

Today, Jazz Matters has grown into a global brand, streaming on over 24 platforms to a dedicated audience across 56 countries.

Enjoy the music I love and let Jazz Matters take you on an unforgettable journey through sound.
