A mix of old, current obsessions and new on this one - a bit of a focus, with matters progressing on a planned Harvey’s Rabbit release a little slower than anticipated, I thought I would dig out their album on Resonator and the obvious choice from that was the cover of a Robert Forster song given what else is on the show. Also I was extremely pleased to see the talented Lancashire Hustlers back with a new album after too long a gap. Featured artists: The Holy Rollercoasters, Bacon Wagon,

Perhaps the most fascinating and rewarding gift from jazz music is its’ unpredictability. On this show the selection of new releases continue to demonstrate that the music never fails to surprise and excite. As well as new material there is further exploration of Ivo Perelman’s back catalogue on Leo Records and the recent reissue of the Strata East catalogue.

Featured artists are: Dan Weiss, Flying Sutra with Ayumi Ishito, Keefe Jackson Jakob Heinemann & Adam Shead, Charles Brackeen, Ivo Perelman, Ramiro Zayas, Pietro Paris, Dee Dee Bridgewater & Bill Charlap, Greg Hopkins, Manos Loutas, Benita Haastrup, Marty Ehrlich, James Brandon Lewis, and, Raquel Marina

The title of this weeks offering is "A curates egg of a collection, lots of stylistic shifts".  It might refer to the new Robert Forster album   but could  equally be applied to the cross-section of music on this  show. Important I think not to get stuck in a rut when listening to music and to explore new avenues whilst also looking back at some of the best of the past. These shows are morphing into a half and half split to a selection of the best current releases, some new and fascinating sounds and a hark back to things that might have been missed when they first emerged.

Featured this time - Nelson Bragg, Tana Delle Pigri, Dwellers, Selcuk Suna, David Handler, Ladom Ensemble, Moff Skellington, The Go-Betweens, Barbiana Complex,

On this show a selection of the best in brand new releases plus reissued material from Billy Harper, Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley, and Ivo Perelman. To close two tracks from the legendary Ornette Coleman.

Behn Gillece, Mike Thompson, George Crotty Trio, Alchemy Sound Project/Sumi Tonooka, Rob Clearfield, Shrunk, Billy Harper, Ivo Perelman, Julian Shore, Dino Saluzzi, Jay Danley, John Yao, Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley, Freedom Art Quartet,

A balance of completely new artists (to me) and the current featured albums delivers a mixed bag covering a multitude of genres.

A number of examples of the crossover between jazz and other genres are on display in this show. Classical music, the blues, funk and progressive rock are featured all fitting seamlessly into the jazz world. In addition there is a look at the second tranche of re-releases of Ivo Perelman’s massive catalogue on Leo Records.

The theme is “The North” for quite a lot of this, although I do wander off to other parts of the UK and the World. As Dusty from West Coast Sick Line says of The North “It’s where talent comes from….” which got me thinking about similar messages….

Featuring : STAGGS, West Coast Sick Line, The Fall, Danny Short, Moff Skellington.
