Just in time for the weekend, the Jazz Meet resident and MUKATSUKU label boss drops a little 30 minute mix of killer jazz music for your listening pleasure. Dipping into the hard-bop bag straight off with some Blue Mitchell before hitting us with a cheeky 45 from Eddie Russ and a perennial favourite in Ahmad Jamal’s remake of WAR’s ‘The World is a Ghetto’. Hampton Hawes drops off the beautiful David Axelrod produced ‘Sierra Morena’ and we get some mellow jazz flute vibes Germany’s Sunbirds. We then head off to Norway for a little bit of 80’s Brazilian flavoured club jazz from Winds, Hot & Cool and some ace fusion grooves from Direct Flight before rounding everything off with the epic vocal jazz dancer from Jeanette Williams and Vince Andrews ‘The One Who Needs You’. So BIG! Thanks for listening, if you’d like to cop the mix as an MP3 at the end of the month, please consider joining our monthly newsletter.
