A jazz fan, Peter Waddell, who says he is not a musician. He once again selects some amazing records and talks about why these particular tracks give him joy. Lots of modern recordings and two historical gems.

Since he has commended me for playing on these podcasts “global giants and local joys”, I present him with a ‘local joy’—an obscure but now defunct jazz-fusion group from the Canadian Okanagan called “The Mammals”. You probably won’t find any of their recordings online.

Thanks to Peter, I also play Fergus McCreadie (from Scotland), Polar Bear, The Partisans, The Brad Mehldau Trio, Trifecta, Esbjorn Svensson. And speaking of ‘global giants’, John Coltrane and The Buena Vista Social Club.
