Exploring the eclectic with the 4:12 session… what’s the ideal length of a track? For this session my selection was based solely on the length of each track! We end up with a sexy, ambient, latinized, funky and soulful 2 hour session… only two tracks are not 4 minutes and 12 seconds in length. Enjoy!

A real treat for you all, over at the BBC FOUR iPlayer site this week, four episodes of the landmark BBC 2 televisual series from the 1960’s, Jazz 625, my favourite of which is the Thelonious Monk Quartet session, with Ben Riley, Larry Gayles and Charlie House…. this episode was introduced by British Jazz legend Humphrey Lyttleton (RIP) whom i had the great pleasure of meeting once upon a time… enjoy! also find quite a few Jazz 625 clips on youtube.com.
Wishing you all Peace and Happiness and Love for Christmas x

Woops… been a while! Back doing what i love best with a monster funk session, a frenzied crate digging of funk compilations sinks its teeth into this, the ping pong session. Soulful, gritty, soundtrackish funk keeps it funking for over 2 hours! Enjoy! Peace! Great music to play ping pong too…

Legendary Jazz DJ Paul Murphy graces the jazzcasts with this excellent groove session from Budapest! An introduction by the man himself:
“Back in the night in the day I used to play a lot of what were then seen as straight ahead Jazz records. Before the heady 1990’s days of Acid Jazz, before the Jazz Not Jazz trips, and well before the Nu Jazz times too. I usually played in dive bars below seedy hotels, old Victorian pubs still full of Withnail and I types, South American restaurants full of extras from Scarface and ex-strip bars. All very downbeat and sordid. And, amazingly, people used to come down to these places and dance their asses off. Heady times! What goes around, comes around, happily and now on my travels I’m playing these old sounds again. And people are still digging them.” Wish i was in Budapest right now… Enjoy!
