A complex and beautiful story woven by sound
There are a lot of record collectors in the neighborhoods I hang out in London, and when I DJ with them I often use jazz to connect the atmosphere. Because it's so deeply rooted in the culture, it gets the crowd excited even when played in between house music. I believe music isn't just about the sound of a single chord or lyric; it's about the connections between what comes before and what comes after it that weave a story.
Jazz is able to express the richness of life precisely because it combines complexity and beauty. I've come to understand this more deeply since I entered my 30s and gained more experience. In an age where topics are consumed in the moment, it reminds us of the importance of enjoying art with a broad perspective.
