Japanese Breeze Mix Vol.4

Considered a reaction to the more lively bebop styles of jazz, the postwar era saw a rise in subdued styles, often referencing classical music. NTS selects two hours of cool jazz from Miles Davis, Chet Baker and more.

Yes, we print reviews and thought-provoking features, but we also pride ourselves on answering the questions others don’t ask. Find out what some of those questions are by reading our daily site or one of the back issues below.
