Today on the show, we travel down to D.C. John Murph is a mainstay in the jazz writers circuit, he's a respected music journalist whose work is found at downbeat, NPR, The Atlantic, Washington Post, and many more. He's been on the scene as jazz has evolved in the twenty first century, and he's very familiar with the Ropeadope story. John is also a deejay, and is working on a series of Ropeadope retrospective playlists found on Mixcloud. Let's hear his view on where jazz is in 2019.
