Episode 9: In the spirit of looking for the light, we focus this week on newer joints with a (hopefully) rosier future ahead of them as they adopt more modern ways of doing things and pull in newer types of customers. These joints provide a rare beacon of hope in a landscape that is vanishing at an increasingly rapid rate. Find out about what a rhinoceros has to do with jazz and the most Japanese jazz joint you’re likely to find outside Japan, as we invite our first ever guest on the podcast!

Thanks as always to Brian of Grooves Ahead for audio assistance and Louie Lastic for our theme music.
