I’ve been a long-time listener. I started listening while living/working in Istanbul. Then your show brought me through 6 years in Kurdistan. Now, I’m currently enjoying it from Morocco. Hands down, this is the best jazz podcast; it’s a very balanced blend of music (90%)
Best jazz show

I’ve received so many great recommendations from Ken, and his set lists never fail. All jazz fans should check it out.
Sound quality

Great selections but equally great sounding music, as in high fidelity sound. The music dosent sound compressed or tinny like some other podcasts. Nice job.
Could be the best Podcast on the internet

I remember a time when you could flip on the radio and find a jazz station. Usually at one end of the dial. Miss it. And youtube just doesn't scratch that itch. This podcast does! Fantastic selection of music. Keep them coming, we are listening!

Freedom of speech, whether it comes from an instrument in the form of musical expression, or from someone who adds history and commentary to a podcast is what makes things great. Love the music and appreciate Ken’s knowledge of jazz. Keep driving this great show as you wish Ken.
Perfect

This podcast is exactly what I need. Jazz head to jazz head, thank you Ken!
Solid music, annoying politics
03/23/2023
The show has enough good music that it generally outweighs, but the host is a bit on the nose with his virtue signaling and little comments which detract from the show. I don’t mind a little arrogance in a jazz DJ, and it sometimes goes with the territory, but the mix of politics turns it toward annoying rather than endearing…
Good mood

Sometimes you just need some jazz to put you in a good mood.
