Customer Reviews
AEWSOME!!! REAL jazz!
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!
Exactly what I need
Just enough commentary. The selections are superb. Thank you.
Love the show
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.
