    If you don’t like political music then don’t listen to jazz.

  • To be Played at Night

    To a previous post reviewer: Jazz has always been an extremely political music. Threats on civil rights and strong leanings to authoritarianism are not compatible with Jazz. Adolf was not a fan and the only swinging Trump could do is on Epstein’s island.

  • Love the show to a point

    I listened to the show and knew right away this would be a show to enjoy that’s the plus the negative was the political comments about President trump and playing a few tracks that disrespected the office of the president of the United States of America

  • excellent

    Refreshing episodes of mixed styles in jazz. Ken avoids too much bonk-eep-honk and keeps the announcements informative and short. All in all every week one hour enjoyable 🎷🎵🎤🎶. 🙏and 🙋 from Bruges, 🇧🇪
