  • Jazz Matter tribute to Eddie Palmieri - 289
    Aug 18 2025

    I’ve just heard the sad news that Eddie Palmieri passed away on 6th August 2025. A true talent, electric on stage and a generous man off it, Eddie’s music has touched so many — including me. I’m paying tribute with a selection of his finest Latin jazz and salsa recordings, from Vamonos Pal’Monte to Revolt – La Libertad L6gico. Join me as we celebrate his genius, his rhythm, and his unforgettable spirit.

  • Mestizo Sounds presents Party of My Mind.
    May 31 2025

    Welcome to Mestizo Sounds. The new programme is called Party of My Mind. My new music selection looks at the world from a darker perspective.

    For that purpose, I have used more rock music than I usually use in my mixes. The rock of the post-punk scene fits perfectly with this view.

    Post-punk was a very inspiring period of musical creativity and crossing boundaries that still has repercussions today.

    You will find a Playlist and information in the info button and in the blog with more details on the tracks selected.

    I hope you enjoy listening.

  • Jazz Matters - Shifting Rooms & Steady Grooves
    May 30 2025

    As May draws to a close, life is in motion. My house is on the market, boxes are piling up, and I've been scouting new places with room for a proper studio. While everything shifts around me, the music still grounds me. This mix is a snapshot of where I am right now—mentally, emotionally, musically.

  • .11-25 - Jazz Matters Mix April 2025 - Boxes, Memories & Hidden Gems
    Apr 24 2025

    As a mix, Boxes, Memories & Hidden Grooves flows like a journal entry, contemplative in places, ecstatic in others, and filled with the kind of sonic texture you can only get when memory meets music.

    There’s a gentle polarity here, between worldliness and intimacy, structure and space. The mix leans toward jazz fusion, spiritual jazz, and global jazz but it’s more about vibe than genre. Think forgotten fusion from Scandinavia, cinematic jazz-rock from Indonesia, soulful beat-led explorations, and the kind of live recordings that put you in the room.

    Whether you’re packing, unpacking, or just taking stock of the music that’s shaped you, this hour is designed to move with you.
