Steve's been, in the words of superstar saxophonist Dave Koz, the 'go-to' guy for all things smooth jazz. As host of  Fusion Flavours, launched in Manchester in 1990, Steve's passion for the music he loves, and desire to share it, has helped make smooth jazz much more than an American phenomenon.

Whilst hosting the show on Jazz FM for eight years throughout the 90s, he compiled all 15 all-star double albums and has been instrumental in bringing top artists like Fourplay, Dave Koz, Peter White, Boney James and Rick Braun (plus the popular annual Guitars & Saxes tours) to venues across the country.
