Jazz Matters 2025

This is my Jazz Matters 2025 archive — a full year of monthly mixes and specials, kept in one place for easy listening. You’ll find contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, and crossover sounds that sit comfortably next to the tradition without copying it. Each episode page includes the player and a full tracklist, so you can listen while you read. If you want a simple starting point, begin with the first mix of the year and follow the journey month by month.

Summer Sun brings together spiritual jazz, global grooves, and modern jazz musicians for a mix that’s both cooling and uplifting. From Shigeto to Muriel Grossmann, let the rhythms shimmer through your summer soundtrack.

Welcome along, my Forgotten Treasures" unearths soulful jazz, fusion classics, and spiritual grooves from deep in my collection, a rediscovery of music I’d almost lost.
Forgotten Treasures series of mixes came about when I had some friends stay with me and they were going through my music collection of and looking at my collection of soulful jazz, fusion classics, global grooves, spiritual jazz, jazz nostalgia, deep cuts, and rare finds in my stored music.
Someone said the words we are finding some Forgotten Treasures here and  
Forgotten Treasures was born.
