Beirut : Watching your city get bombed, how earth shattering.
Here’s #16 of our radioshows played by me last week. Starts off slow with a soundscape by SF artist Jefre-Cantu Ledesma, which has an Afghani love song sung on top. I don’t know why I felt so multicultural last week but I did, a little bit [...]

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 [...]

Yes retroethnic!. A word I made up 5 minutes ago to describe today’s songs. The first song is by Tofig Guliyev, and it’s off the compilation, Jazz in Azerbaijan Anthology. I’m disappointed with the second CD of this compilation, which has lots of newage/midi drum stale jazz, but the first CD has this gem by 1917 born composer Guliyev which has a ripping guitar played like a tar on top of a 20s style big brass band joined by some accordeon and piano, very musical.
