OK Jazz Podcast

OK Jazz returns in 2026 with another packed episode!, new music from Brazil, Senegal and Spain (Radio Tarifa are back!) Some prog-rock inspired jazz, New Orleans groove, an essential re-issue from Mali and more!

The 2025 Year-End episode, some of my favorite tunes of the year from ALL around the world!

Super fun episode chatting with broadcasting legend Peter Barakan! Peter has been on Japanese TV & Radio for more than 40 years, and has introduced me to at least a couple hundred albums over the years. We sat down recently to just exchange some recent favorites and music stories! (NOTE: My microphone track was unusable so had to make the best of it, I sound like I'm across the street...best listened to with headphones!)

Back again with an episode of great tunes! New groovy jazz from Melbourne, compilation of Kenyan 'benga', deep cut from the departed legend Jack DeJohnette, some country-rock, the new Atlas Maior album, and lots more!

Part 2 of this special episode with my Tokyo Jazz Joints Photo Project brother Philip Arneill! We get into his arrival in Japan, record store exploring, how we met, some classic hip-hop, soul, jazz and lots more!
