I have always had a warm spot for Jazz and the Blues, something about the way it moves you, stretching your very soul and feeding the heart. I have put together here, some of my Jazz and Blues podcast guests whose music has soothed and embraced me. All of their music at some point has moved me in some way and when you take a listen to their music, you are listening to their heart and soul.
Enjoy their stories and music, I really feel it will move you too.

The Drummer Loves Ballads is the debut album of John Armato. Featuring extraordinary music, musicians and moods, it was produced and engineered by some of the industry’s top talent. The album was designed to be a new soundtrack for lazy Sunday afternoons, romantic evenings, and melancholy midnights, but you’ll swear it’s a long-lost jazz favorite.

LM 17-06 ‘Saxing’ into our Souls with Gerald Albright
Gerald Albright has a generous invitation for fans of his hit 2014 album: If you thought that mix of deep funk and simmering sensuality was a Slam Dunk, wait’ll you get a load of G. It’s that album’s high octane sequel, which draws even deeper connections to that in-your-face horn-section-magic, of classic bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and Tower of Power.

Adored for her singular magic for making what’s classic contemporary again, Jan Daley is the most multi-talented and beautiful Best Kept Secret in entertainment today.

LM 17-16 Geoff Alpert – Open Your Heart
Trombonist Geoff Alpert has loved music all his life, studying the craft, learning several brass/valve instruments, playing in bands and composing songs. Inspired by the likes of jazz legend J.J.
