Jazz Sensation Jhavali

Jazz Sensation Jhavali

Author: Easy Jazz FM April 18, 2023 Duration: 21:34
In the Spotlight today is "Jhavali", an Atlanta keyboardist and arranger, who, despite having never performed live in front of an audience, is making waves in the jazz business for her uniquely smooth, upbeat compositions. Jhavali started singing and writing music at a very young age - and in this interview with host Ken Boyd, explains why she has not yet performed on stage, sticking only to the recording studio.

Produced by the team behind the popular soft jazz internet radio station, Easy Jazz Spotlight brings the microphone into the room with the people who shape the sound. This isn't a lecture or a history lesson, though you'll certainly pick up plenty of that along the way. Instead, each episode unfolds as a genuine conversation with a working musician, a thoughtful composer, or a historian who connects the dots. We get into the craft behind the chords and the stories behind the standards, but we also explore why this particular form of expression feels so necessary now. The discussions naturally circle back to jazz's unique role in our often chaotic world-how its improvisational heart and collaborative spirit can offer a different kind of logic, and even a sense of calm and well-being, for those who listen closely. Tune in to hear artists explain their process, share personal inspirations, and reflect on what the genre means to them and to us. You'll come away from this podcast with a deeper appreciation not just for the music itself, but for the quiet resilience and creative joy it represents. Easy Jazz FM created this series to extend the feeling of their radio channel, offering a more intimate, voice-driven companion where the focus is on the creators and the thoughtful space their work inhabits.
