I built Jazz Matters as my home for contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, and world music — and now it’s also home to a small number of guest shows and mixes from people I rate. 

Expect contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, and global sounds — with tracklists, long reads, interviews, and playlists that go deeper than the usual. 

NuDirections is also returning under the Jazz Matters banner. It’s my lane for the wider world music, jazz-adjacent sounds, and leftfield discoveries that sit comfortably alongside nu-jazz — without diluting what Jazz Matters is here to do. 

Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit hobby project I’m extremely proud of. It began in May 2021 as a weekly radio show on a London community station, and that spirit of discovery still guides everything I do. 

Today, Jazz Matters reaches thousands of open-minded listeners across 57 countries on 24+ platforms.

In 2026, I’m taking things up a gear with clear sections across the website: 
JM Studio Notes for updates and direction, The Music Player for listening. Jazz Lines as my writing hub, including Sleeve Notes and Monthly Features, Interviews for the people behind the music, The Vault for the archive and NuDirections, returning as the home for my world-music and genre-crossing sessions under the same roof 

Around mid-2026, a full digital relaunch from my new studio will follow. 
After that, in 2027, I plan for Jazz Matters podcasts and mixes to be exclusive to this website. A bold new chapter begins soon. 

Jazz Matters — because the music, and everything around it, truly does.
