What do you get when an Emcee/Visionary, a Jazz Enthusiast/Radio DJ, and a Jazz Vocalist with a direct bloodline to musical royalty ride the 4 train to its final stop in the Bronx?

You get Last Stop On The 4 Train a powerful audio-visual and now podcast experience chronicling the pilgrimage of John Robinson, Thomas Simmons, and T.C. III to Woodlawn Cemetery, the sacred resting ground of Jazz immortals like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Jackie McLean, Max Roach, Milt Jackson, Lionel Hampton, and many more. This National Historic Landmark becomes a portal into the soul of American music as the trio embarks on a mission fueled by reverence, curiosity, and intergenerational love for Black musical excellence. Part film, part oral history, part cultural ritual.  Last Stop On The 4 Train is a heartfelt homage to the continuum of Jazz and Hip-Hop, designed for vinyl collectors, Jazz heads, beatmakers, and every music lover in between.

Now also available as a podcast, Last Stop On The 4 Train expands the conversation even further. Through in-depth dialogue, firsthand stories, and poetic reflections, Simmons and Robinson reveal how the rhythms of Jazz laid the blueprint for the boom-bap bounce of Hip-Hop, and how those same frequencies still echo through the generations. At its core, Last Stop On The 4 Train is about remembering. It’s about giving flowers to the architects of sound and connecting the dots between music, culture, and ancestry. As Robinson, Simmons, and T.C. III walk among giants, they don’t just talk history, they embody it, transmitting wisdom, energy, and soul in every step.

This isn’t just a documentary. It’s a moving tribute. A sonic offering. A cultural ceremony.
