Mestizo Sounds Presents “Evolution to Rescue”

Jazz Matters ·

2025/05/11

My new mix for May 2025 is titled "Evolution to Rescue." While this name may seem random at first, it has a thoughtful origin. I spent a few days listening to the beautiful track "Evolution" by the Cinematic Orchestra, featuring the soulful singer Fontella Bass, who is known for her hit "Rescue Me." This connection inspired the mix's name.As you can see, it may be a bit random, but it carries significant meaning. We are living in times of change, and evolution can take various paths. I hope

Jazz Matters - Boxes, Memories & Hidden Gems

2025/04/24

As a mix, Boxes, Memories & Hidden Grooves flows like a journal entry, contemplative in places, ecstatic in others, and filled with the kind of sonic texture you can only get when memory meets music.There’s a gentle polarity here, between worldliness and intimacy, structure and space. The mix leans toward jazz fusion, spiritual jazz, and global jazz but it’s more about vibe than genre. Think forgotten fusion from Scandinavia, cinematic jazz-rock from Indonesia, soulful beat-led

MESTIZO SOUNDS PRESENTS FOLK TALES

2025/02/13

The new programme by Mestizo Sounds focuses on folk music, mainly sixties and seventies. The idea for this programme is due to the new feature film “A Complete Unknown” about Bob Dylan's early days until he abandons the folk structures. The Folk scene was the catalyst for the most brilliant composers in the music revolution of the sixties. I hope the listener appreciates the selected music and agrees that Folk Music Matters!
