It’s Jazz Meet resident Nik Weston‘s turn to shine this week and we start with two sublime obscure jazz releases from Japanese outfit Hotel New Tokyo before dipping into an infectious Michel LeGrande little 7 inch. Danish Jazz Maffia Big Band hit us next with a killer funk 45 release heavy on the funky jazz vocals before more heavyweight gear from Night Blooming Jazzmen and a strange but delicious library record from France. Erwin Lehn follows up to supply some further big band power moves before Roy Porter‘s catchy “Panama” and London Jazz 4 up the jazz. We round things off with two modern classics in the form of  Slow Supreme’s “Africa Time” which deserves another airing and the Toshio Matsuura remix of Zero dB’s monster “Conga Madness” (Also check the original!). Thanks for listening.
