A Jazz Compass
A Jazz Compass
The beauty of jazz music is that there are no borders. Jazz is a universal language inviting you to the table to enjoy flavours from all cultures. A Jazz Compass, with Frank Presley, brings you contemporary jazz recordings, mainly from the northern hemisphere, that you have never heard before, peppered with some favourites and a live recording each week.Social links:
