this new Bugge's album is quite nice - after his early nu jazz recordings he continued with series of (openly boring) chamber jazz solo piano albums

I believe this change in direction is for good

this new Theo Croker's album is released on OKeh - old jazz label which Japanese decided to re-vitalize last year

they add some money forming labels initial catalog which is extremely eclectic, it often looks they just contracting one known artist out of every jazz sub-genre

few weeks ago they released quite strange NP Molvaer album as well (for me it sounds as "Molvaer for American market")

Interesting I first came across Okeh as a label of the 30's specialising in the blues - Bessie Smith for instance, I think, sure Keb Mo' was signed to it in the 90's

As promised I have pulled together an ALT2 Show Summer Special, and pushed the sounds beyond the 3 hour mark. I've also taken the opportunity to play some really long tracks which I don't permit during the normal shows , so hence the complete Steve Wilson remastered Close To The Edge and Books 1 and 2 of Rush's Cygnus X1 fused into a whole of 30 minutes play, I hope you can stand Mr Lee's voice. And listen out for the 'who are these guys?' track right at the end of the recording.

THE CATCH: this show is only downloadable and won't be broadcast (but thanks to LCR - especially Alison - for letting me have time to use station facilities). I am literally uploading the show to We Transfer at the moment. Now if you want a download, please contact me, via the show's email address in the next 6 days:

We're back, and maybe we'll celebrate properly our 30th continuous year of playing a pretty eclectic range of musics, including of jazz. September has proved to be a good month for jazz fusion and several samples here. MSMW's dub version of Cream's Sunshine of Your Love, reminds me of my bad attempts of singing this tune as a reggae, back in the early 70's. Antoine Fafard's newie (third solo album) is really good, and perhaps a calling card to attract some major musicians. My best find of this summer, hidden away in the archives (and I certainly do not remember this being played on UK radio in 1972) is the self-titled Captain Beyond album (recorded by former Deep Purple/Iron Butterfly/Johnny Winter band members): cleverly arranged heavy rock. Made time for The Pineapple Thief and at last enjoying some of their albums - 137 echoes Radiohead but who recorded first. And so on. Usual time and place on the internet.

What's better on a rainy day than put a radio show together for next Thursday - well, I steam cleaned the kitchen floor first. Various bits of feedback during last Thursday's show has influenced selections. Mark Guiliana last played as electro-jazz duo with Brad Mehldau, is here with his latest. Searching around over summer for earlier David Binney albums, and with "Aliso" we get Wayne Krantz's distinctive guitar sound in unfamiliar company. Thanks Scott for the Captain Beyond recommendation - indeed hinting at "Abraxas". Some positive feedback for London based Blue-Eyed Hawk deconstruction of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' has encouraged further delving into their album "Under The Moon". Personal favourite of the 70's but held over from last week, Stefan Grossman demonstrate some master folk blues playing - I think I saw him live at Loughborough back then. Japanese band Happy Family have reformed and are recently released on Cuneiform, enjoyably sounding like a heavy jazzed-up Krimson. And the new Yes album is pretty good even though the band long abandoned progressing. Enjoy!!!

I hope you have a chance to catch at least part of the last two shows - and let me know if you would like to download edited recordings of future shows, but don't seem to be on that particular circulation list. BTW last Thursday's show is up for 6 days.

This coming Thursday, jazz is largely represented by jazzers improvising around relatively simple pop tunes. Wayne Krantz (reintroduced it), MSMW continue it with their newie 'Juice', and Bill Frisell's latest does more. The very best of Scandanavian 00's nu jazz, i.e. EST and New Conception Of Jazz, have partly come together in Bugge Wesseltoft's latest 'Trialogue'; IMHO this best I've heard from Bugge in half a decade. Decided that the one thing to connect shows for the time being, is a sampling a classic jazz track per week, where possible by the originator: last week Rollin's 'St James', this week Davis's 'So What'. Personally fascinated by what David Sylvain has been doing on that border between rock and jazz for the last 20 years; 'Blemish' is a wonderful musical experiment. Too brief reminder of the late, innovative flamencoist, Paco De Lucia. Interesting new American folk music from O'Death and the Ben Miller Band. Plus much more.
