"Music is an adventure, for both its creators and its listeners. I'd like to think of 'Jazz Up Late' as a musical adventure - and like any adventure, it might range from the sublime to the hair-raising. I'll be exploring contemporary jazz at home and from around the world as well as looking at emerging trends and how the music of other cultures and genres are currently influencing jazz.
The A to Z of jazz fascinates me, no matter which period in its history it comes from...Louis Armstrong's clarion trumpet from the '20s still gives me goose bumps...and then there's the exhilarating rush that John Zorn's confronting and ferocious 'Painkiller' induces, with so much in between!
'Jazz Up Late' has been created to complement Mal Stanley's 'Jazztrack', to appeal to avid fans of the music and the 'jazz curious' alike and to explore the world of jazz beyond 'Jazztrack'.
It's been said that jazz is 'the sound of surprise', I'm certainly still finding it so...and I hope that you will too, on 'Jazz Up Late'."
