The Podcast
Jazz stories, told through the music. Mono & Mood is a jazz interview podcast hosted by drummer and historian Jeff Nedeau. Musicians and collectors tell the story of how jazz shaped their lives — the records, the rooms, and the people who changed them. No performances, just the conversation behind the music, recorded in Boston and Rhode Island. Season One: Episode 1 — Guitarist Jim Feighny (out now); Collector Scott Moran (recording October 30); Trumpet player Richard Stanmeyer (recording November 4); Guitarist Matt Grant (coming this season). New conversations each season. The listening room and the podcast are the same idea in two rooms: sit down, and really listen. Follow along daily — records, reels, and Clementine the corgi: @monomood2026 on Instagram
Modern gatherings deserve more than background streaming playlists
Digital playlists often lack warmth, tactile presence, and intentional mood. A true jazz listening room creates a communal sanctuary where music is experienced, not just overheard.
Mono & Mood recreates the classic jazz kissa aesthetic on-site, spinning original mono pressings and timeless stereo cuts that invite deep listening and elevated conversation.
