A little late this week, but now perfectly placed to start your weekend off with a coffee and a croissant or two, here’s another guest mix to keep you entertained. Belgian jazz collector The Jazz Kid sent us a beautiful mix a year or so ago (an amazing selection of European jazz treats which you can still hear here: Podcast #28 – 27.07.11 Blast Kid The Jazz Kid), so when he came knocking a second time around, we gladly took receipt of this (fantastic) collection. Beginning with a lovely vocal from Norwegian vocalist Karine Krog, we ease into the hard bop stylings of Curtis Amy and a Latin jazz masterpiece from Ahmad Jamal. Nathan Davis gives us ‘Sweet Koko Brown’ before we hit further goodness from Paul Horn and Duke Pearson, and the dancefloor-friendly ‘Succotash’ from Herbert Jeffrey Hancock rounds things off (just check those drums!). We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening.
