Welcome to the first show! I’m playing some of my favourite jazz records as of late. This mix features a lot of Hard Bop, raw sounds and fast tempos. Also playing two of my favourites from Sonny Rollins to celebrate his wonderful music.

Stick around for the last few tracks to hear some amazing modern stuff from Toronto: Archie Alleyne and Doug Richardson, BADBADNOTGOOD. Then, a recent Robert Glasper track from 2024 that flows directly from the timeless 60s-era sounds. Hope you enjoy.
