Today’s addition to this week’s special mix series is Orsii, who most of you probably already know from her excellent mixes on the Mixcloud site (Check here and here if you don’t). She dropped into The Jazz Meet late Sunday afternoon to bless us with a flavoursome hour’s worth of classic jazz, spanning the entire spectrum of the genre. Knowledge dropped. But I guess you learn a thing or two if you spend your days working in the Jazzman offices!
Highlights? There’s spiritual jazz from Phil Cohran and Cannonball Adderley, funky stuff from Sabu Martinez and Leon Thomas (How GOOD is that bassline?), some ethio-jazz from Salah Ragab and a touch of Latin from The Latin Jazz Quintet and their classic take on Miles Davis’ ‘Milestones‘.
Continuing this week’s fundraising effort for Macmillan Cancer Support, you can download this set and the other five mixes in the series by making a small donation to http://www.justgiving.com/thejazzmeet. Thanks for listening.
Next up: Jake Holloway (BBE) on a Latin tip!
