Jazz Meet resident Rob Coley steps back behind the boards to showcase some of his latest finds on a contemporary tip. We ease into the 50 minute journey with a beautifully penned tribute to Bill Evans from Darin Wilson, before young pianist Samuel Yirga brings us the Ethio-jazz flavoured ‘Tiwista’. The tempo increases slightly with Mike Hobart’s Urban Jazz Collective’s ‘The Vista’ and the Latin jazz of César’s Salad’s ‘Bahamas Soulfood Corner’, before further exotic flourishes come courtesy of The Shaolin Afronauts and Roberto Fonseca (Havana Cultura). The young Canterbury quartet The Boot Lagoon bring us a delicious slice of funky jazz rock, and this Sunday’s guests at The Jazz Meet Live at Floripa in Shoreditch, Cath Roberts’ Quadraceratops drop in and share ‘Bumble Bee Collision’, a track from their new Live EP (available here). Finally we round things off with two great vocal tracks given the remix treatment and featuring Zara McFarlane and Gregory Porter. Thanks for listening.
