Join jazz aficionado Don Shor as he explores the diverse and fascinating world of jazz. Jazz After Dark spans the gamut, from roots in boogie woogie, blues, and ragtime, through traditional and straight ahead jazz, soul jazz, bossa nova, and more.
The Jazz After Dark podcast is a hidden gem that jazz enthusiasts have been searching for. Hosted by the wonderful Don Shor, this show takes listeners on a remarkable journey through an extensive selection of jazz music that can satisfy any jazz mood or preference. Whether you're a fan of classic jazz or more contemporary sounds, this podcast has something for everyone. It is no wonder that I recommend this show to all my friends who appreciate the beauty and artistry of jazz.
One of the best aspects of The Jazz After Dark podcast is the impeccable selection of music. Don Shor delves deep into the library of jazz to create insightful and creative shows, unearthing lesser played gems by both the giants and the broader brotherhood of this great American art form. Each episode is an inspiration and a guide to discovering more hidden gems that listeners may not have heard before. The host's passion for jazz shines through in every episode, making it a truly enjoyable experience for any jazz lover.
On the other hand, one of the worst aspects of this podcast is its limited number of episodes available to choose from at any given time. While each episode is carefully curated and thoughtfully put together, it would be even better if there were more options available for listeners to choose from. Having only two episodes at a time can be limiting, especially for those who want a continuous stream of great jazz music without having to wait for new episodes to be released.
In conclusion, The Jazz After Dark podcast is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast who wants to explore and appreciate the rich history and diverse range of sounds within this genre. Don Shor's ability to create engaging episodes with his insightful commentary and exceptional music selection sets this podcast apart from others in its genre. While there may be room for improvement in terms of offering more choices in episodes, overall, this show is an absolute treasure that deserves recognition and praise.
