"And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed...

My liver is still, well, present at least! 🥳 Therefore joyful jazz tunes tonight at 23 MA time! Tune in!

More the mellower! Tonight's selection is all about dark jazz from the ambient end of the jazz spectrum. Slow-burning sax, haunted harmonies and cinematic melancholy. Stuff for nursing the noir mood. The playlist: The Lovecraft Sextet, Joel Fausto & Illusion, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz...

Visiting Dubrovnik! Yesterday, I decided to sit down at a little café in the old town, drawn in by the sound of jazz classics being played on the piano with a pleasantly confident touch. I ordered a bottle of white wine and thought, well, why not - this is what relaxing is all about. I stayed...

Songs for passersby A slow Sunday. I grabbed a six-pack of beer and headed to the park to sit for a while. Tonight’s tracks play through my noise-cancelling headphones as I watch people walk by. Each song I’ve chosen for the evening carries a certain hard-to-define emotional charge - perfect...

Tonight's Port Jazzlantis is random selection from my recent playlist. Tad mellow, autumny note. Oh, by the way. I ran into name Saul Williams while selecting tonight's tunes. I saw this combo live ten or so years back at Tampere Jazz. Pure gold <3

Bebop is rhythm, rebellion, and virtuosity. The Spark of Bebop refers to that pivotal moment when jazz broke free from danceable swing and plunged into faster tempos, more complex harmonies, and the untamed flame of improvisation. It was a musical revolution ignited by Charlie Parker’s...

This episode explores the subtle presence of global influences in modern jazz, without leaning on the obvious. Rather than spotlighting overt fusions or genre hybrids, the selections here trace quieter threads: rhythmic echoes, tonal colors, and cultural textures that enrich the music without...

Hiya! Tonight's Port Jazzlantis is composed of picks from the most interesting jazz records of 2025! Familiar names have again captured the attention of critics and listeners alike blablabla ffs I'll just let Hiromi speak:

Crap! I forgot to introduce last sundays Port Jazzlantis! So here comes a listening recommendation; fully improvized legendary Köln concert by Keith Jarret.

We’re tuning into the unique sound world of Ralph Towner — guitarist, pianist, and master of musical storytelling. His nylon-string guitar playing blends classical elegance with jazz spontaneity, creating textures that are both intimate and expansive. As a classical guitarist myself, I find...

Only in New Orleans can a funeral feel like a block party. Tonight, we’re talking jazz funerals—where the tears are real, the brass is loud, and the dearly departed get a send-off so funky, they might just dance their way to the afterlife. It starts with sorrow, ends with swing, and somewhere in...

Greetings from the Lakeland! Tonight I'm promoting Finnish jazz, rising stars and few old dogs. Enjoy the sounds :)

Rest in peace Hal Galper 😥

This is early introduction of next Port Jazzlantis theme, TELEVATOR MUSIC! Elevator classics and some new shit! Perfect background music for your three second (depending on lag ofc) journey from level one to, say, level three! Enjoy the ride at sun 2300-000 MA time!

Astor Piazzolla brought a bandoneon to a jazz fight and somehow walked out with a whole new genre: nuevo tango. By mixing Argentina’s smoky dance halls with jazz's improvisational tomfoolery, he created something bold and totally unexpected. Jazz legends like Gerry Mulligan and Gary Burton...

GLUB GLUB! Thank you Shadowsong! Very much needed break at the lakeland away from computers. :) Today we're listening to picks from 90's jazz records by ECM Records label. I was student back then and buying a record was not everyday treat, but those three letters were good enough reason to buy...

Tonight's theme is: One time doesn't make you gay - times when jazz musicians make tunes for big audience. And other way round; pop musicians make pretty okay jazz. Btw, if you happen to have pair of high quality speakers or headphones, go ahead and have a closer listen to opening song, Lillies...

Ha!

"I have no idea what I'm doing - I just move my fingers and hope for the best!" answered the great Joe Pass when someone asked if he knows exactly what to play. Just found out that brand-new remaster of Joe Pass's album Virtuoso is out! The need of digital era remastering is arguable, but hey...

If tonight's Port Jazzlantis was a drink, it'd be GT with double Gunpowder! 🥳
