NuJazz session with a very Jazz flava… some of these tracks i have discovered are available on compilations, which says alot about the quality of these tracks, nujazz classics already!!! I do get goose bumps (chicken skin) listening to some of these tracks, they oouze with quality production and authenticity and that certain jazz hook that just gets me every time. Notably DJ Cam’s ‘Summer In Paris’ and Nicola Conte & Gianluca Petrella’s ‘New Standards’. It’s all good, enjoy and seek them out…

Brazilian connection session: episode two… another summer soundtrack of nice Brazilian sounds. Some classic grooves hear, funky and soulful fusion, some nujazzy flavas too. We also feature two new albums from the outstanding Far Out Recordings label. Legendary Brazilian composer Antonio Adolfo’s wonderful 70’s stylee ‘Destiny’, and the superbly gifted Arthur Verocai treats us with ‘Encore’, following up from his debut album way back in 1972!!! Both these new albums are a wonderful addition to any jazz headz Brazilian box… Enjoy this session ;-)

I’m feeling melancholic… so this is the melancholic exposé session!!!
Those nice peeps over at Candid Records kindly sent in a bunch of albums to Explorations in jazz… and with their 2007 festival just around the corner i felt it was most appropriate to pick some of Candid’s quality talent for your ears right now!!! And although this is a melancholic session, these albums are anything but sad, and they can all be found at Candid Records store. What really stands out for me is the Geoff Gascoyne album ‘Keep It To Yourself’! Also notable are the beautiful Mishka Adams, Gustavo Marques & Pororocas and Stacey Kent ;-) So switch the lights down low, light some candles, pour yourself a large glass of fine wine and let this session take you on a journey to that melancholic shore we all visit occasionally in life, enjoy…

Climb onto the Cuban Caravan… this session is a selection from the recent Bestival series i did for the Havana Club. If you can stand still during this jazzcast then there is something wrong with you!!! No need to dance the Salsa (and i can)… the nice thing which i love about jazz is you can move any funkin way you like to the music, no matter the genre!!! As long as you’re moving ;-) Hear we have Cuban and Salsa rythyms to start with, finishing off with some kick ass funkin latin jazz… enjoy ;-)
