Welcome to the show! This week I’m playing more of my recent favourite jazz records. This mix is saxophone-heavy again. In the second half I shift to some spiritual jazz from Ottawa by the Antlantis Jazz Ensemble, some jazz-folk from the Tara Clerkin Trio, R&B/jazz by River Tiber. To end the mix I played Private Room by RAD, which I discovered as the funky sample behind MIKE’s You’re the Only One Watching.

Welcome to the first show! I’m playing some of my favourite jazz records as of late. This mix features a lot of Hard Bop, raw sounds and fast tempos. Also playing two of my favourites from Sonny Rollins to celebrate his wonderful music. Stick around for the last few tracks to hear some amazing modern stuff from Toronto: Archie Alleyne and Doug Richardson, BADBADNOTGOOD. Then, a recent Robert Glasper track from 2024 that flows directly from the timeless 60s-era sounds. Hope you enjoy.

The Tune Up Playing jazz records. The Tune Up is hosted by Luke Hodgson and airs on CKMS-FM on Friday from 6:00 to 7:00pm.
