Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Just for fun, here’s a countdown of the top ten most-watched videos on the channel in 2023. I only counted views of videos that were uploaded in 2023 – though there is one honorable mention for a video that was not uploaded this year – yet still earned more views than any other video on the channel in 2023!
If you want to peek or skip ahead, I’ve made some chapters below – so… Spoiler warning – spoilers appear below!

Thanks everyone for listening – I do this channel out of pure love for the music and it’s been a real treat sharing it with you and reading your comments.
In addition to my normal videos of record transfers, in 2024 I hope to do more videos on topics related to jazz history and 78 rpm record collecting, as well as more conversations with jazz artists, producers, historians, and other collectors.
Have a very happy holiday, a very Merry Christmas, and a super happy new year!
Matthew
