“A truly fantastic podcast. Well researched, really exploring the minutiae of the subject, going into detail but not in a technically overwhelming way. I particularly love that so many recordings of the actual music are included. Sincerely hoping it’s revived someday so we can continue the journey!”

“This is unbelievable work. Very interesting. So eye-opening. It’s a bit too much detail for me (I am just starting to understand jazz), but such a captivating show. Too bad it is not updated anymore, but i just hope the author will return to it sooner or later. Thank you for your work!”

“Great podcast, obviously made with much love for the subject. I listen to every episode twice. Arik Devens puts lots and lots of music in each episode, but there just isn't time to include the complete pieces. So he also has made a Spotify playlist with everything from the podcasts. I had a free...”Read full review »

“This is exactly what I was looking for: an in-depth, tedious, step-by-step lesson though the history of Jazz. This is a podcast for folks who really want to go deep. I’m eagerly waiting for new episodes!”

“Arik is an excellent narrator and offers an accessible yet interesting look at the history of jazz. The stories and music samples bring the subject to life in a way that could easily be missed by someone less concerned with the narrative of this incredible music than Arik is.”

“I set out hoping to find a highly detailed, serialized narrative about the complete history of Jazz music which included samples of the songs it discusses.
This PRECISELY what I was hoping for. If you have any interest in Jazz, or think you might, I cannot recommend this podast highly enough. I...”Read full review »

“...but so far I can highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for an in-depth history of jazz. Arik Devens is a compelling storyteller with a deep, deep knowledge of the origins and stories of this music. I've long loved jazz and Devens' trip down Dixieland and the African origins of jazz...”Read full review »

“Interesting, well paced and extremely well documented. Full of little anecdotes and apocryphal testimonies. Can't wait for the 40's and 50's (long way to go).
Keep it up ! And thank you.”

“I found Arik's show through his promotion of it on Criterion Cast, and film is definitely the more familiar medium for me. Still, I've always enjoyed listening to jazz despite my lack of familiarity with the nuances and history of the genre. This show is such a great addition and a topic...”Read full review »

“I'm really enjoying this podcast. The history of jazz is complicated and (at times) controversial. Arik Devens provides an engaging, thorough review of the music tradition's roots, with well-chosen recordings as examples.”Read full review »
