About this episode

In the final episode of Jazzism for 2025, Brian Phoenix reflects on the positive aspects of change and the need for love in the world.

Welcome to the final episode of Jazzism (a katzpheno mix) for 2025. On this episode we celebrate life, the beauty, the struggle, and the joy of it all. Though a year is full of change we reflect on those aspects of change in our lives that were positive. We focus now on those aspects of change that helped us to grow, that gave us deeper knowledge of ourselves and the world around us, that taught us to share with one another, and to love each other more. "What the world needs now is love sweet love, that's the only thing that there's just too little of." Burt Bacharach and Hal David penned those insightful lyrics and put it to beautiful music with an unforgettable melody sixty years ago, and it's just as true now as it was then. In my mind it's so obviously true the world needs more love. The killings and the wars and the bombings and the starvation has to stop. Love can do it.
