Is it freedom, is it tradition, is it alive, does it continue to evolve and thrive or is it an art form stuck in time?
The object of this series is to expand our understanding of and interest in Jazz (and Jazzy sounds) by inviting some of the best purveyors of Jazz and Jazzy sounds to contribute a 45 minute mix of what Jazz means to them and how Jazz has influenced them. I then add my own 45 minutes to their mix inspired by their selections.
For Episode 1 of Season 2, I am overwhelmed to have such a high calibre guest and deep lover of music 'Jazzcat' - https://www.mixcloud.com/maxvibes/. I have been nothing but inspired by his knowledge, collection and the way in which he carefully selects and flows his mixes. He is a master of multiple genres, a creator of wonderful mixes and I'm happy to say someone who has supported me over many years.
Jazzcat has presented a stunning season opening mix, I only hope I have done his selections justice.
