JazzNotJazz is a programme where 100 years of Jazz recordings is used to compile a unique mixtape with useful and sometimes not so useful facts. It is also about The Soul of Jazz, so excursions to related styles are certainly made. There are irregularly recurring sections, such as “The Unplayed Standard”, “Ellington Train Songs”, “Jazz Cameos” and “More is Better”.
