Jazz 625 returns (again!) to BBC4 on November 20th with a stonking line-up: Sons of Kemet, Sarathy Korwar, Matthew Halsall, Moses Boyd Exodus, Nubya Garcia, Ezra Collective and Kokoroko.

Shouldn’t that be ‘Jazz 1080’?

Being serious that’s excellent news.

A few years old but new to me - this morning I've been really enjoying Caribbean Roots by Anthony Joseph with a band featuring Jason Yarde and Shabaka Hutchings amongst others.

Muriel Grossman's new album 'Quiet Earth' is out soon and there's a track on YT :-

Reminds me of Trevor Watts' Moire Music

@dave charlton if you're a fan, Trevor has recently released this five CD box set:

Thanks Paul, was a fan back in the day.

Really enjoying this one at the moment. Stunning effort imo.

I posted this is the end of year polls thread:

The 2020 NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll : NPR

Quite a few of the records mentioned above are in the list but also a few things I'd overlooked.

I've been playing this a lot this week:

I've been needing music that's engaging but not too angular at the moment and this fits the bill nicely.

A heads up. Ronnie Scott’s will be live streaming a concert by ‘London Scene’ band JD3 on Thursday at 8pm UK time...

That looks to be an epic project. And quite different to the more outside recordings of his I've previously heard.

Although the CD set sold out in a week on Bandcamp it is available for £75 from Honest Jons.

This came out in the top 3 of the NPR jazz critics poll - if you like William Parker and haven’t come across it you might like this.

I was just looking at this today. I am a fan of Parker and was wondering I should acquire this set. Think I'll pass - it's got too much singing (the vocal styles are generally not to my taste), and a 10 cd set may be a touch self-indulgent.

I have the Wood Flute Songs box and that is very good.
