Some of you may be interested in this. A local DJ to us ( The Return of the Illicit Groove #IGblog: IG011) interviewed Mike Peden of BBE about J-jazz. Think this was the 1st of 2 episodes.

I don't really like to pick a favourite but I have chosen my most played record for the top. So many other great records released but I've tried to be succinct 20 points Daniel Casimir & Tess Hirst - These Days 5 points (in no order) Samthing Soweto - Akulaleki Damon Locks Black Monument...

Yes - received this a whlie back. To my ears it sounds fantastic - especially after I gave it a clean. I was initually worried about what the quality would be like but it's great and would reccomend. The colour is nothing much to shout about and would probably prefer black.

No idea. But I’m takin the risk. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/klimt-records.345533/

Those who haven’t got it - Juno now have in stock the Klimt - green (I think) vinyl copy of Cat by Hiroshi Suzuki. Just £15.25 before postage which is a good price Hiroshi SUZUKI Cat (reissue) vinyl at Juno Records.

yep - I posted on the old forum I think...it was released as 4 12" records that - when put together - created the album art as a whole

One of my favourite releases of the year is having a worldwide release on November 15th. Naoito's DotA. Originally released on Japan's Jazzy Sport label, this was imposible to get hold of. Japanese afrobeat...

Back on now :)

And while I'm posting - some of you maybe interested in Dylan Jones' (ezra collective) new band who have an album out this Friday PYJÆN, by PYJÆN

Haven't posted here in a while but felt I'd ought to let you know that Binker Golding is halfway through a majestic live-streamed set (youtube and facebook) from Ronnie Scotts for his new album launch. Sarah Tandy has been killing it on keys - sounds amazing - tune in. Starts again at about 9:30...

Bobbi Humphrey - Blacks and blues. So good

Waited 20 years for a release of this on vinyl - . Hamell On Trial - Choochtown. Happy days

This London band never seems to be mentioned but released a beauty this year - a mixture of Cocteau Twins and jazz pop: Alaskalaska - The Dots

I got this too and can confirm it’s a gorgeous package with ace music. Goes perfectly well with the recent and excellent yacht rock documentary on bbc https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0005wwn/i-can-go-for-that-the-smooth-world-of-yacht-rock-series-1-1-episode-one

I didn’t realise Sheffield Utd - SHU - had stolen two of our best players (afc Bournemouth). Maybe I should put some money on some transfer gossip. edit - ignore me - first home game!
