New Music Player under construction while Big Changes Ahead for Jazz Matters From October 1st, 2025, all Jazz Matters shows and mixes will be exclusively available here on my website. I'm saying goodbye to the 24+ music platforms as part of a major new chapter. Alongside a brand-new music player, I'm also relocating to a different part of the UK, with a new studio. It’s an exciting time of growth and transformation — and I can’t wait to share what’s next with you.
