Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit project that I’m extremely proud of. Jazz Matters started life in May 2021 as NuDirections, a weekly radio show on a London community radio station.
Since then, Jazz Matters has evolved through many phases and grown into a significant global podcast platform for Jazz and World music lovers, reaching over 40,000+ open-minded listeners across 57 countries, on more than 24+ platforms.
2025/6 is a time of big changes at Jazz Matters. My love for music goes beyond Jazz, so I’ve now created a separate World Music player to explore vibrant rhythms from around the globe, afrobeat, samba, Gnawa, cumbia, and much more.
Also, I'm building a brand-new studio in November 2025 and preparing for a full digital relaunch on 1st May 2026. From then on, every Jazz Matters podcast, mix and special will stream exclusively from this website, no third-party platforms.
So from Febuary 1st, 2026, you can listen to music, read my blogs, watch music videos and explore all in one place.
A bold new chapter will begin on 1st May 2026. New location. New music player. New studio
Jazz Matters. Because the music, and everything around it, truly does.
