Just tested positive for Covid. Glad in a way that I wasn’t simply overreacting to a cold with my piteous moaning…

Our new EP, 'Archiefishal Intelligence', is out now in all the usual places. (Link in bio.)

We don't release music very often, so I'd love it if you'd take a listen, and I promise not to fill the Jazzsky feed with too much self-promotion :)

Good grief, the new John Scofield album is so beautiful. He plays so much like himself, if that makes sense, that I can’t stop smiling.

Just doing some promo stuff for our new jazz EP, out on 3rd November. If anyone could use an EPK for any (sensible) reason, please let me know :)

I'm not a birdwatcher generally, but I saw a some of these bullfinches in Helsinki this morning and had to stop for a few minutes because they were so arresting in the gloom.

We only release music around once a year, so apologies for the self-promotion but the release date just happens to be coming up soon. Here's a jazz ballad for a Sunday, if you like that kind of thing (jazz ballads, not Sundays). I promise most of my interactions will be genuinely social!

I was reading this, as recommended by John Naughton in The Guardian, and wondering how Bluesky fits into his analysis. To me, so far, it feels like a kind of Everything Chat Space, with many rooms to discover and build.

Finnish icebreakers in Helsinki. I often talk about them when I’m introduced to strangers at parties.

At this time of year in Helsinki you have to grab every ray of sunshine you can. Winter is coming.

At a loose end during the stormy weather in Helsinki over the weekend, I remixed a jazz guitar trio EP I made a few years ago. It seems to take ages after recording something for me to actually like my playing on it, but I quite like this track now.

Rather than referring to you-know-what as “the other place”, I suggest we call it “the Scottish social network”.

You know it’s the right time to stop using Twitter when your tweet saying you’re stopping using it doesn’t reach any of the people who follow you.
