Kind of Early

From the cool sounds of 1959 to the eclecticism of the modern scene, Kind of Early is your weekly guide through all things jazz — classic, obscure, and exciting. Each episode dives into a different corner of the genre: the albums of jazz’s golden age, the brilliance of women in jazz, the permeations into other music, and beyond.

Whether you’re a seasoned listener or just tuning in, Kind of Early brings you into the music with accessibility, information about the artists, and music that moves. Settle in, start your morning, and find yourself somewhere in between Miles Davis and Cole Porter, Ella Fitzgerald and Esperanza Spaulding, or Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington.
