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 ;-)

Mashed Potato IV
Soulful jazziness perfect for a Sunday with JazzDJ (128Kbps)
Mashed Potato III
Here’s a gem of a set by yours truely JazzDJ, seriously smashed by this point!!! This session (part 2 of 3 that night), fuelled by a bottle of red wine and some glasses of cognac, finds JDJ getting obsessed with a particular soundbite and amusingly singing along to the last track… I cried with laughter listening back to this one! Still worth a listen (even at 64Kbps) just to give you an idea of what to expect… Peace.
Just in case you have not been able to tune in yet to our live monthly Mashed Potato sessions on Radio Nova Lujon.

With circa 100 listeners tallied so far from all over the world, this is becoming a regular night-in for people who just like to get mashed ;-)
