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.
