In our quest for the freshest Jazz sounds we’ve scoured the Net for mixes to entertain us on a rainy day. One of the people who has consistently dazzled us with his on-point selections and sequences is Mr Ian Barker. The man behind a number of our favourite mixtapes on Mixcloud, it was only a matter of time before we reached out and asked him to contribute. And sure enough he doesn’t disappoint with the mix he finally sent us. Running the gamut of Jazz styles, Ian delivers a host of goodness, taking in tried and tested as well as rare as hen’s teeth tunes, this is bound to bring a little sunshine to your weekend! Thanks for listening.
