Jazz as it is

Hosted by Lionel Whitney, Jazz as it is is a deep and personal exploration of the sound. This podcast moves beyond a simple history lesson, though you will certainly hear about the music's rich past and its fascinating evolution in style and form. Instead, each episode feels like a conversation about the artistic composition of jazz itself-how it’s built, how it feels, and why it continues to resonate. The focus is on the human element behind the notes, connecting the spoken word directly to the musical genre. You’ll hear discussions that get into the nuances of similarity and difference between artists and eras, all with a genuine passion for the subject. It’s for anyone who wants to move past just listening and start understanding the layers within the music. Tune in to hear a thoughtful, advancing dialogue that treats jazz not as a relic, but as a living, breathing art form.
