Customer Reviews
Well worth your time and ears
Nathan really knows his stuff, both as a music fan and a schooled player (jazz alto sax). He's musically literate but doesn't overwhelm you with music theory -- just enough for the players in the audience to get some more insight into the tunes. His selections are well-chosen and his descriptions of them are like good liner notes. His range is impressive and he's not a jazz snob -- witness the rock-ish selections along many other genres that are more jazz-adjacent than pure jazz.
Incredibly Thoughtful and Perfectly Cured Music … Always A Treat To Listen
Nathan does an awesome job of curating thoughtful and unique Jazz selections that always make me appreciate the history and impact of music (let alone Jazz itself). This is a highly recommended podcast always worth the time. And, you may find yourself upgrading your headphones and home speakers to absorb Nathan’s podcasts even more. Enjoy every minute!
Fantastic podcast
