- Love this
I’m an 80-year old jazz fan. I heard Miles at a night club in Denver in ca. 1972 and Keith Jarrett in a concert at CU Boulder in the fall of 1972. I love listening to young critics and experienced experts talk about the musicians while playing the tracks they recorded. Thank you.

Love this show! Music lovers will find pure joy in the album deep dives. I’m not a typical “jazz guy” but the Stevie / Steely / Marvin / MJ walk throughs are out of this world. Highly recommended!
