The concept of SOJP is based on parings of jazz musicians and their poetic contemporaries. During the program, biographical information is provided on each artist, so in a sense you can say that the show is educational as well as entertaining. The goal of the program is to educate everyone, about the history and importance of Jazz and Poetry. Show host Clayton "Big Trigger" Corley Sr, does a lot of research on each artist that is showcased on the program, and has collected so much jazz music over his lifetime that he probably will never run out of artists to showcase.
