In The Pocket - G Mateus

Jazz, Allegedly

In the spirit of Jazz-u-ary, this mix leans into jazz’s long tradition of covering the popular music of its time – from Broadway show tunes to radio hits – moving through standards, covers, and new standards.

Placing classic jazz recordings alongside music that sounds jazzy, the focus is less on labels and more on process: improvisation, interaction, and how musicians reshape familiar material. Some of this swings, some of it floats, and some of it grooves – all of it part of the long conversation we call jazz.
