Jazz is a conversation — and that’s what The Late Set is all about. Nate Chinen and Josh Jackson convene every two weeks for straight talk and in-depth interviews with featured guests. Just like a hang at the end of the gig, in the back of the club, it’s direct, unfiltered and illuminating, revealing the music and its culture in a deeper light.

Nate and Josh were exactly what I was looking for this morning, on the centennial of Miles Davis’ birth.
This this the place to turn for insight in jazz from two highly respected voices. Nate and Greg’s interviews get to the heart of things in a way that many interviewers don’t, and their conversations are always illuminating. The Late Set picked up right where their previous podcast, Jazz United, left off.
These are great conversations!
Nate and Greg engage in insightful discussion with current jazz musicians as well as some who have been around for many years. Really worth a listen if you are a jazz lover.
Great to hear the Jazz United brothers back with this new effort. Looking forward to listening.
