As promised a few posts ago here’s the spanking new new LP from Benedic Lamdin aka Nostalgia 77. It’s a shame I haven’t listened to his previous efforts, nor have I heard that he has won the Jazz Album Of The Year at the BBC Radio One Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards. I first heard of [...]

Thanks to some comments I’ve decided to upload the radioshow to archive.org!
I’m also trying to customize a more usable 3 column design and make some changes, that’s why in the daytime you may see the blog unavailable until I finish it up (which may take up to a week because of my css “skills”). Till [...]

Norwegian electronic jazzheads Wibutee released their 4th album Sweet Mental on their own Sonne Disk label. One of the primary bands that the all important Bugge Wesseltoft gave the world through his Jazzland records, Wibutee has been one of the most successful bands although not as popular as say Beady Belle. If Bugge’s nujazz approach [...]
