So a little extra treat this week (and a little warm up for this afternoon’s proceedings if you’re in London) as our man in the North dropped this little beauty into our inbox earlier today. Yes, it’s that man Black Classical again and if you’ve followed his adventures for a while here and over at his Black Classical home you know he doesn’t mess about with his selections. Here he supplies us with another seriously ace excursion of new and classic jazz material. Taking in the Japanese jazz sounds of Sunaga T Experience, Sleepwalker and Soil & “PIMP” Sessions (with the MONSTER ‘Waltz For Goddess’), a brace of contemporary jazz tracks from Path of Light Records (courtesy of Ultimate Universe and Joe Jennings and Howard Nicholson’s Life Force), the Arabesque brilliance of Stephen McCraven, and the Afro-Latin jazz dance of Fal Frett, this is strictly niceness all the way through. So dive in and feed your ears, and make sure to drop him a few comments either below or over on his Mixcloud page. Thanks for listening!
