The AM: June 23, 2025

One of the mellower openings to an AM in recent memory, but if you can slow yourself to the same wavelength, there's some lovely, grounding ambient jazz and electronics to kick things off.

Otherwise, there's always the option to skip ahead to the library grooves, psych-rock spaciness and jangling pop of the last hours, as we launch into summer in typically laid back AM style.

The AM: February 10, 2025

Love is in the air! Love is everywhere! With a throwback to a Pharoah Sanders classic and an array of lovesick songs in the third hour, this week's AM counts as a semi-Valentines episode for those who celebrate such things—and also includes plenty of new ambient, electronic and spiritual jazz selections for those who don't.

Hope you enjoy it. Tracklist and Spotify/Apple Music/Soundcloud embeds are below, or listen to the stream at CJSW.com (or on your favourite podcasting app). The streaming platforms are missing a few more tracks than usual this week, including Robert Wyatt's hushed cover of John Lennon's "Love," so... fair warning.
