Thanks for listening to Port Authority: Explorations in Jazz where we explore the many flavors jazz. From new & modern jazz to Spiritual, Soul, BeBop, Fusion, and International along with NuJazz, Acid Jazz, and more.
Jay Boucher, co-founder of soundwaves, created this program because there’s an incredible amount of new composers, musicians, and unheard jazz music that’s ready to be discovered—it just needs more ears and outlets. Jazz is not dead.
