In our time of hosting the mixtapes we share with you, we’ve met a variety of DJs, selectors and record collectors who consistently bring the goods. There are only a few though that stand head and shoulders above with their selections, and this week’s guest selector Mr Les Fisher AKA jazfresh is one such gentleman. He is somewhat of an enigma to us here at The Jazz Meet but he’s clearly a man who has collated an immense knowledge of black music over the past 60 odd years (a fact that is more than supported with his own ‘No Boundaries’ selections over on his Mixcloud). An unassuming chap, once in a while Les will quietly slip a new mix to us with no fanfare or hype, we press play and instantly start scratching our heads. “What is this tune?” “who did this cover?”, “what is THIS!?!” are just some of the superlative questions we mutter as he takes us on a journey through his crates. Here’s another irrepressible selection from Mr Fisher. We hope you enjoy.
