For me Jazz is life, the essence of most music I listen to and something I must listen to everyday. It transports me, calms me, challenges me, makes me happy, sad, joyous and ready for my day.
Because of it I have been on Mixcloud 6 years and I have made many friends through sharing it and this here is my 80th Jazz mix (158th if I include my Jazzy Hip Hop mixes).
This is also for me an ending and a new beginning. All the Jazz in this mix is contemporary, so that in itself brings joy to me, that a genre (what is jazz anyway?) I love is still here, relevant and beautiful.
It is an ending as I will wind down from Mixcloud and posting weekly mixes and being so active on here as the year ends and a new year beckons.
I have much to post still before the year is out but for now I want to say thank you to all who have supported me, followed me, encouraged me, inspired me and shared with me their love of music.
My journey has changed now but I leave this for you, delve deep into it...
