Jazz Matters - Looking Back at 2023

 Looking back at 2023 at the music that went under my radar, or I should have played and that I have played. I just can't believe some of the music that has been put out in 2023, there have been so many times my breath has been taken away by what I have listened to and where it has taken me. So this show is just not a round up of 2023, it’s what I have listened to during the year be it old or be it new.
