I have to admit, this was a hard list for me to put together. It seems to me
that a lot of what has been coming out in jazz lately, just doesn’t grab me.
Must be a sign of advancing age.

I’m in the world of college radio
as a DJ and genre director at a station that has a ridiculous amount of jazz
that doesn’t get played often enough (Carnegie Mellon University). I am
honored to have my picks featured in this listing. Hope you dig on what
you’ve heard and dig deeper what you haven’t.
