Most of the jazz I play on this podcast tends to be the tried and true over the years. I’m changing that for the next four episodes and exploring the current jazz charts. These are albums on the playlists of U.S. jazz radio stations as listed through JazzWeek on their weekly top 100.

For this episode I looked at the charts for the end of September, and played a track from the albums rated numbers 31 to 40.

You’ll hear a great variety…..and it’s all ‘real jazz’. The highlight for me? Probably Artemis, the all-female international supergroup, with Canadian pianist Renee Rosnes directing.
