After a week of uploads, here’s the final mix recorded at our Macmillan Cancer Support benefit gig last Sunday. Resident Jarred Rice closes the party out with his own unique brand of jazz and Latin heavy hitters. If you’ve checked any of his other mixes on here, you know the man always digs deep, and this session is no exception. The obscure jazz sounds of Shades of Joy, Tip of the Iceberg, Prazsky Big Band and Konstantin Petroyson rub shoulders with the more established names of Sergio Mendes, Jack Parnell, Perez Prado, Robert Watson and Charles Earland. Chuck Mangione’s truly epic and orchestral ‘Land of Make Believe’ also gets a rare outing, which can only be a good thing.
Jarred will be lining up alongside Mukatsuku boss Nik Weston and The Jazz Meet Band for a special Bank Holiday Jazz Meet Live event at The Shoreditch today. Thanks for listening and if you’d like to help us raise £1000 for Macmillan, please visit http://www.justgiving.com/thejazzmeet.
