Happy New Year Music Family! It's time for the first episode of the "First Instrument Jazz Show" in 2025! I'm focusing this particular show on some of my favorite music released in 2024. I thought it was a beautiful way to pay tribute to the music of last year before we move too far into 2025. I've got plenty of timeless music in store including from Lizz Wright, Raul Midon, Samara Joy, Alyssa Allgood, Countermeasure, Michael Mayo, Kandace Springs, Queen Esther, Caity Gyorgy and many more. Come get lost in the music with me!
