# Hoezo Jazz?!

A podcast by NPO Luister / VPRO. Saxofonist Kika Sprangers en jazzkenner Koen Graat gaan in Hoezo Jazz?! op zoek naar legendarische platen, opvallende artiesten en verrassende subgenres, en laten ze horen hoe jazz voortdurend in gesprek is met de wereld om ons heen. In afleveringen van een half uur verkennen Kika en Koen hoe jazz zich vermengt met andere muziekstijlen zoals rock, hiphop, wereldmuziek en elektronische muziek en andersom. Want jazz roept vaak hardnekkige vooroordelen op, terwijl veel jazzmuzikanten juist buiten vaste genres en hokjes denken. Met verhalen, fragmenten en onverwachte muzikale verbanden laat Hoezo Jazz?! horen dat jazz niet in een hokje past.
