Now into their 5th year, and receiving high accolades from several different podcast review sites, Same Difference has quickly become the go-to Jazz podcast for good (and fun) analysis of all your favorite Jazz standards. Each episode, AJ and Johnny pick a standard, then listen to and discuss several different versions, including a "New-To-Us Artist" who may very well be new on the Jazz scene. They've had an array of special guests on the show, including Jazz and Musicology scholars, noted Jazz critics and reviewers, and some excellent Jazz musicians. Best of all, AJ and Johnny have been friends since their college days (40 years and counting!), and have been attending Jazz festivals together since the 80's. Their love of Jazz coupled with their own unique stories make for one very entertaining podcast!

Sneakers 54 was established in 1976 when a group of friends got together after deciding they had to do something about the lack of good West end clubs that played Jazz,Funk & Soul music. They found that in order to gain entry into clubs they would need to dress in suits, pay extortionate entrance fees, and then have to listen to pop music for hours until the DJ decided to play the odd Soul or Jazz tune at the end of the night.

Their next move was to hire venues in the West End and hold their own club nights playing the music we loved. The nights became more regular and soon built up a following that had been looking for the same things; they wanted to listen and dance to the best in Jazz, Funk & Soul in a friendly and safe environment. They decided to name themselves "Sneakers 54" after the classic Jazz-Funk track by Sea Level , the one track which closely resembled the spectrum of music they most enjoy and play at their club nights.... And they still believe ........it's all about the vinyl !

This is a sample of the music they played; If you enjoy any of the music played here, please support the artists and buy their music ...As without them we have no music !......Thanks for listening !

Lambert und Felix Weigt (aka. Gregor Klamra) lieben Jazz. Doch was hat er nur mit ihnen angerichtet? Ist diese Liebe bedingungslos und unschuldig? Handelt es sich hiermit um ein Fachgespräch oder ist dies doch nur ein wöchentlicher therapeutischer Aufarbeitungsversuch? In jedem Fall reicht es für einen heiteren Podcast der sich an alle musikliebenden Menschen richtet, die für den Jazz keinerlei Verständnis haben oder ihn abgöttisch verehren? Lambert ist wahrscheinlich der beste jedoch ziemlich sicher der geschmackssicherste Pianist der Welt. Vor lauter Scham versteckt er sich hinter einer sardischen Stiermaske. Felix spielt Bass bei den wichtigsten Bands der Welt und bei 'Die Höchste Eisenbahn' und produziert feinste elektronische Tanzmusik.

Robert Lundberg made personal recordings of each radio show and these recordings are the only archive remaining of his decade-long passion for his music. They are presented in this podcast exactly as he recorded them almost 40 years ago.
