 We’ve previously put you in touch with great classical music podcasts (here and here). Now it’s time to
focus on jazz. Today, we’re highlighting 16 podcasts that will keep you current on today’s jazz scene. You’ll know what’s happening in Chicago, Detroit, New York and beyond. You’ll also find some podcasts that explore some jazz greats — namely, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. This list will grow as we encounter more quality material. If you see that we’re missing a good one, drop us a line. In the future, you’ll be able to find these podcasts in our larger collection of Arts & Culture Podcasts. For all of our podcasts, click here.
