In the Groove, Jazz and Beyond
Hosted by Ken Laster, In the Groove, Jazz and Beyond is a curated audio journey for those who feel the rhythm a little differently. This isn't a history lecture, though you'll certainly hear from the iconic masters whose work built the foundation. Instead, each episode connects those timeless voices to the vibrant, sometimes surprising sounds of today's scene. Ken focuses on the rich spectrum from classic improvisation to modern fusion, actively seeking out emerging artists who are pushing boundaries and redefining what jazz can be. You'll get thoughtful commentary that feels more like a conversation with a deeply knowledgeable friend, always centered on the music itself. True to its stance, this podcast deliberately sidesteps the smoother, more commercial end of the spectrum, offering an authentic dive into music with real edge and creative fire. Tune in for a mix of insightful discussion and, most importantly, incredible tracks that you might not find anywhere else. It's a celebration of the genre's enduring spirit and its exciting, unpredictable future, all delivered with a curator's ear and a fan's passion.
