Hot Biscuits Jazz Broadcast
What a month it’s been for me! A return to Durham for a University Jazz Festival 25. Alan Musson, Radio Presenter and Audio Producer joins us at Hot Biscuits. His first contribution will be later this month with a review of Johnny Hunter Music and out of our archives of live jazz sessions from Manchester we have a stunning recording of John & Kathy Dyson courtesy of Ian Brown.
Also taking space in the show, this week is another track from Martin Kershaw’s Playtime featuring Denys Baptiste. Although not internationally known just yet, Playtime has become an institution in Edinburgh and, to a degree, in Scotland generally. One that the KEN COLYER SOCIETY might like, featuring the Ken Colyer Jazzmen on, `Sing on.` Ofri Nehemya offers up a new release, `Drive`. Courtesy of Rupert Burley, Dynamic records. If you missed them before, be sure to catch them this time Thăng Long Jazz, `You don’t know what love is.` Thang Long Jazz is a jazz band from Hanoi, founded by pianist Nguyen Dinh Phuc. Special thanks to Hanoi Jazz Lovers.
Last, but not least, two pieces from the Durham University Jazz Festival 25 featuring, Northern Lights: DU A Cappella and Durham University Big Band Orchestra. I this looks interesting then like it, share it but most of all listen in 24/07 at www.mixcloud.com/stevebewick/
