The cats in the hats have their second helping of their faves from 2025 - 'twas a good year!

The cats in the hats with a tribute programme to composer and guitar maestro Ralph Towner who died recently at the age of 85 - and who also gave them the nickname of "the jazz hamsters".

The cats in the hats with the first of two programmes looking back at some of their favourite albums of 2025. . . 'twas a very good year!

New music from the Rin Seo collective and Sixty years to the day (almost!) since Ornette Coleman recorded his classic "At the Golden Circle" album. The cats are at it . .

The jazz hamsters play music from artists at this year's London Jazz Festival - which is where they will be by the time of broadcast!

The cats in the hats rue the passing but celebrate the music of the drummers' drummer and pianist, Jack DeJohnette, who died last week.

The jazz hamsters have sounds from the likes of Charles Lloyd and Tom Johnson and pay tribute to the music of some great names who have recently moved on to bandstands new . . . Danny Thompson, Anthony Jackson and Klaus Doldinger

The jazz hamsters curate a personal selection of great jazz from just one year - the question is which year is it? No Googling now . . . .
