Have you ever wondered what all the jazz about Jazz was? Matthew and Kyle are excited to introduce you to a project that will fall under the Audio Judo umbrella called “Audio Judo Does Jazz” or “AJDJ” for short. We are hoping that this limited series podcast, hosted by Audio Judo show consultant Chris, will act as a primer for people who are interested in finding out more about jazz. Chris will cover many of the great jazz moments of the 20th century, the history of various musicians and their work, and he’ll have some great suggestions for albums and tracks to start your jazz listening adventure. You can subscribe and listen anywhere that podcasts are podcast.We are proud members of Pantheon - the podcast network for music lovers.
