This month's Astral Traveling takes flight from the soul-jazz depths of 1969 to the fresh sounds of 2026: a two-hour voyage spanning Phil Upchurch's Chicago grooves, Grover Washington Jr.'s nine-minute jazz-funk odysseys, spiritual jazz from Tokyo to North Wales, and Brazilian disco heat.
We've got Jill Scott's triumphant return after a decade away, Aaron Shaw's deeply personal LA debut, gospel disco reissues, South London afrobeat, and a trip back to Bristol circa 1990 with Massive Attack's dub-soaked Brixton Bass Mix.
From classic CTI and Kudu label gold to the new generation pushing UK jazz forward… this one covers some ground.
Stay safe, happy travels. 🙏
