Sid Ford brings us a little live set recorded at our latest Dig A Little record fair. 87 minutes of killer jazz from deep in the crates. There’s a little something for everyone here with a rare jazz outing from the funk group WAR, a lovely Japanese cover of ‘Sunny’, Afro sounds from the mighty Fela Kuti, vocals from Blossom Dearie and Sarah Vaughan and classic soundtrack material from Herbie Hancock. Pop it in your play queue and give it a listen when you have a minute. It goes well with the current London sun, that’s for sure!
