DJ Jesse Miner specializes in swinging jazz and blues music. For more than 10 years, Jesse has shared swinging sounds across the country, from competitions and camps on the east coast to nightclubs in his hometown of San Francisco and every hop spot in between. Jesse is thrilled to play swinging songs that keep the dance floor jumping. His relentless quest for music that is "in the pocket" means that every set Jesse plays is a joy for everyone dancing. As the host of Hey Mister Jesse, Yehoodi's monthly podcast about swinging music that matters to dancers, Jesse reaches beyond the dance floor. With an international audience of swing music lovers, Jesse interviews artists, unearths great tunes and inspires dancers to indulge their passion for music.
