An introduction from the man called Mike Chadwick…
“I’ve been listening to Jazz Rock/Fusion, discovering, and bringing artists to people’s attention for over 45 years, working for Virgin Records, Decoy Records (specialist store based in Manchester), broadcasting on Jazz FM and for many years, exclusively across SoulandJazz.com.
My desire to create a show around this genre has become all-encompassing so now is the time that I dedicate my passion for this ever-evolving genre and show you just what’s been on my mind.
Every edition I’ll play a crazy mix covering all areas of Jazz Rock/Fusion, maybe highlighting different decades, artists, instruments, countries, sub-genres… wherever the mood takes me!”
We’re more than ready.
Please feel free to get in touch with Mike with any comments or suggestions you might have; he’ll be more than happy to hear from you: mike@soulandjazz.com or follow him via Instagram, Facebook or Bluesky.
Stereo, not stereotypical.
Enjoy!
