A few words about my approach towards this jazzcast: As a jazz lover and DJ (started my first club at SAKS in southend called JazzOnly - which became the legendary Floorworkers), i have been collecting jazz vinyl & CDs for nearly 20 years now and this jazzcast for me is a journey through that collection, hopefully discovering something new along the way. Hopefully opening some doors to artists and genres you may not know. All the selections in these 'sessions' are some of my personal favourites from each genre, and as time passes we'll go a little further in all directions.
JDJ is not purist jazz for anoraks, its an exploration (maybe an introduction) into the soulful and cool underground world 'true' jazz inhabits. I am not an authority on jazz but I love it and know what shakes my rattle! For me, all music is born of jazz - that is from those African rhythm roots. Funk, Soul, Disco, Breakbeat, Leftfield, HipHop, House, NuJazz, Fusion... it's all Jazz to me. This is also the reason behind the name, JazzDJ.
JDJ is not about ego, nor profit, it's about the music, the love of the music, and the quality and soul of the musicians, singers, producers, Dj's, listeners, vibesters, smokers and dancers who create... the Jazz!
Hopefully with these jazzcast's you'll discover some of the true qualities and soul of jazz, in all its many forms, as it was, and as it is... evolving! If you find pleasure or any form of movement from the music you find here in these sessions, there is my profit!!!
Peace & Love & Respect ;-) JDJ
