  • SO good!

    Great music programming and a classic 70s DJ style. This is exactly what I’ve been searching for in the haystack that crowded with AI generated blech. Real jazz curated by a real, talented person. Ten stars, all the snaps.

    I’ve been a long-time listener. I started listening while living/working in Istanbul. Then your show brought me through 6 years in Kurdistan. Now, I’m currently enjoying it from Morocco. Hands down, this is the best jazz podcast; it’s a very balanced blend of music (90%)

  • Sound quality

    Great selections but equally great sounding music, as in high fidelity sound. The music dosent sound compressed or tinny like some other podcasts. Nice job.
