Matthew has returned from his jaunt in Japan! Featuring That's The Spirit and a guest interview + live performance by Pōneke artist Eveline Breaker. Whakarongo mai nei ~
Ahead of some highly-anticipated new releases soon to come down the pipe (tune in on a regular basis folks...), Def Jim revisits a few choice recent drops from the likes of Tomeka Reid, Ivo Perelman and Angelica Sanchez, raids the 60s & 70s Avant vaults for shiny pearls fiom the New York Art Quartet and Julius Hemphill, slots in a personal favourite from Oregon and in between tarries in a few waystations in Jazz Guitar Heaven.
