What Is Jazz? Vol.1 with Jimmy Mac
Click the play button to listen
This is the first installment of a series in which I invite my favourite Jazz selectors to curate 45 minutes of tracks that define (albeit briefly) their visions of Jazz and what it means to them. I then attempt to provide my own 45 minutes inspired by their selections. This is a powerful challenge for all involved and will be a deep and transporting journey for the listener as well.
First up we have my good friend and one of the best Jazz selectors around, DJ Jimmy Mac.

Jazz has always been with me, always in the background, I just didn't recognise it until I was older and ready to let it envelope me in all its sounds, beauty and wildness.
