Such an amazing music podcast with a deeply curated, researched, and knowledgeable wealth of experience brought each episode exploring the selected musical artist each episode (or episodes). The journalism honors the artist’s included and deeply explores and appreciates the topics. Always worth making time for the focused listening required. I will be donating. Thank you for the fabulous show! I deeply appreciate this splendid work.
This is a MUST listen to podcast if you love learning about the creative process of America’s most treasured art form.

Thank you!
Absolute paradise for someone who loves music. An antidote and relief for what the entertainment industry sells branded as music today
What a beautiful show which gets you deep, and helps to discover new music
Deep Focus is like one of those nature documentaries on public TV. Mitch and his guest always do a deep dive, and they take us along for the ride. Even when I think I might not like the music, it’s always fascinating when I hear what they have to say. And thank you, Deep Focus, for expanding my idea of what can be jazz. I have discovered so many new favorite artists from listening to you.
