Two hours of aural excitement with all kinds of Jazz, and more! Three tunes featuring ‘El Rey’ Tito Puente (pictured) celebrating what would have been his 100th birthday on April 20th plus a little Machito representing big band Afro-Cuban Jazz. Two new bits from Acid Jazz: new signing from Scotland, Mama Terra, and Acid Jazz veteran Kevin Fingier from Argentina, some Norwegian Jazz from Harald Lassen, Middle Eastern Grooves from Eje Eje, Native American Jazz from Jim Pepper, Spiritual Jazz from Kahil El’Zabar’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble ft. Dwight Trible and David Ornette Cherry (son of the legendary Don Cherry), Jazz Groove from Wildflower, classic reissues from Malombo Jazz Makers as well as Ali Farka Toure and Joe Bataan and Terry Callier. Tunico, new out of Brazil, and Peggy Lee with a typically light and sultry take on Samba De Orfeu; not forgetting a PJ Harvey gem and excellent new releases from Harvey Young, Major Lazer x Major League DJz and Pip Millett.
