In JazzNotJazz, we create a unique mixtape from 100 years of Jazz recordings, combined with relevant, or sometimes not-so-relevant facts. The focus of this program is The Soul of Jazz, so we will most definitely deviate to associated genres. We also have some infrequently recurring segments such as “De Niet Platgespeelde Standard” (The Unplayed Standard), “Ellington Train Songs,” “Jazz Cameosl,” and “More is Better.”
During this episode we will focus on an album from 2024, featuring music by Ennio Morricone in a smooth jazz arrangement. Three reggae tracks with jazz undertones. Our friend from Vienna, Joseph, with a long piece incorporating various fusion and world music influences, yet still jazz. A brilliant New Orleans-style intermezzo. And finally, a track whose title could actually be the motto for this entire radio station: Be Cool!
