Playlist for Tuesday 10th February up now at www.edgeofjazz.com A delicious pot-pourri of old, new and yet to be released. Phonic turns 18 on 15th February and E0J has been there from day 1! Listening back it's changed in format quite a lot...and still growing.

Tuesday's playlist up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Also a reminder that from time to time I post shows on @mixcloud.bsky.social This weeks oldest track was the Billie Holiday track but Jimmy Smith from 1957 was a close second.

Playlist for 27th January up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Some digging in the crates until the new product starts arriving (next week?) with a couple of rarities from #ArethaFranklin and especially #BoogalooJoeJones The station turns 18 on February 15th!

Playlist for 20th January up now at www.edgeofjazz.com A powerful mix of old, new and still to come. Phonicfm allows presenters to make choices and play long tracks if we want to. The classic #KennyDrew is a case in point - and it was the oldest on the show at 66 years.

Tuesday's playlist is up at www.edgeofjazz.com one or two unexpected inclusions, including the Alyn Shipton track(most listeners know about my hatred of 'trad jazz') and the Bill O'Connell track indicative of how I felt yesterday- today it's just a sore throat!

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

The first playlist of 2026 is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com An eclectic mix of which the Art Farmer/Bill Evans track was the oldest - but only just! Looking forward to adding our East Devon transmitters on DAB plus, very soon. The weather isn't helping!

The playlist for 2nd December is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Over the next couple of weeks the blog will contain the years Top 10 Jazz Album (according to the presenter!) A list that seldom looks like any other jazz 'best of' compilation, and is all the better for freedom to choose!

11th November playlistup now at www.edgeofjazz.com Pretty much the whole gamut from Polish and Ethiopian Jazz to Blue Note classics and a smattering of new stuff too. I'll also be avoiding all Christmas related tracks right through to the end of the year.

Tuesday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com I continue to be amazed at the sound quality of some of the early recordings I play - this weeks Cannonball Adderley & Milt Jackson from 1958 for example.

Pleased to say that the website is fully up to date again at www.edgeofjazz.com Having a break is great..but the downside is the accumulation of things that need doing when you get back!

10 days without intenet connection of phone has left me with a mountain of paperwork, website work and e mails which I'm slowly working my way through. Website should be updated by early next week. Apologies for tardiness!

Yesterday's playlist up at www.edgeofjazz.com Parts of the playlist were pretty languid - as befitted the studio temperature which even with the air con and fan full on was 25c. Cool jazz for a hor afternoon, indeed! Kate Gamm sits in next week.

The 5th August playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.comThe Lee Morgan track was the oldest (1956) and for the first time ever I managed to play a request on the day it was asked for. Thanks, Adrian, and more 'Stuff' to come after more digging in the crates

Yesterday's playlist up now at www.edgeofjazz.com It was as eclectic mix as you'd expect from a show that tries to encompass the widest range of anything that can be called 'jazz'.

Finally...the playlist is up at www.edgeofjazz.com and the show is available to listen to @mixcloud.bsky.social , but with the obviois blunder about the date, which should read 22nd. Must do better!

Yesterday's show is up now @mixcloud.bsky.social Sticky fingers means that its posted as 2nd July - but it was the 22nd! Full of nourishing goodness as well as an explanation of why the show has its name.

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Quite a contrat in drum sounds, as illstrated by Dizzy Gilespie's 1947 track and the new album from @kokoroko where the drum and bass combo is awesome!

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Some old,(1956), some new (2025) and some unreleased as yet. I tried to fit music to the weather, but largely failed! Even with air-con full on, the studio was really warm yesterday!

Special thanks to Kate Gamm for sitting in on Edge of Jazz last week. Her admirable choice is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com This week, to quote Calvin Coolidge it'll be 'back to normalcy', whatever that is....

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com For various reasons it wasn't the show that I'd planned, but it hung together quite well, and I took the opportunity afforded by our no playlists no advert policy to sneak in(!) a 14 minute Miles David track - in full

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com The Charles Mingus was the oldest and #BettyAcorrsi the most recent. Some belting oldies especially the #Richrd'groove'Holmes which I found digging in the crates.

I've added to the blog spot at www.edgeofjazz.com with some thoughts about some of the new releasesthatI've enjoyed in 2025 (so far!)

Yesterday's playlist is up at www.edgeofjazz.com The oldest track yesterady was #RayCharles & #MiltJackson from 1957 and illustrated just how different recorded sound was then and now - very little bass and starnge stereo separation.

There's a new posting on the blog page at www.edgeofjazz.com It's an update on forthcoming plans for an extension of our coverage area on Phonic FM

Yesterday's playlist up at www.edgeofjazz.com New releases galore at the moment, and difficult to fit them into a playlist. Not too many golden oldies on the list, the oldest from 1959. Have you noticed I blog on the website - sometimes!

Yesterday's playlist is up at www.edgeofjazz.com There's a definite #ChetBaker feeling to parts of it, but the programme covers 1952 to 2025 with some cracking #BlueNote material as ever tuckedin there!

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Covered most aspects of jazz from 1952 to the 'yet to be released'. Yesterday had a preponderance of trumpet players..sometimes it happens that way!
