Jazz Meet resident and MUKATSUKU Records boss Nik Weston drops in to deliver number 88 in our mixtape series and it’s another killer selection of chock full of classic jazz beauties. Ray Bryant kicks things off with the heavyweight ‘Up Above The Rock’ before Ronnie Foster delivers the classic ATCQ sampled ‘Mystic Brew’. We then dip into some vocal-led soulfulness from Mike James Kirkland, Sarah Vaughan and Linda Tillery and a touch of Brazilian bossa jazz from Sylvia Telles. Nik then delves into the world of Japanese fusion with Seiichi Nakamura, supplies a swinging version of ‘Soulful Strut’ by Horst Jankowski and the superb ‘Nude’ from Karel Velebný, before leading us home with two funky Jazz Meet staples in the form of Charles Kynard and Larry Willis. We hope you enjoy the show and thank you for the support you’ve shown us so far.
