Tonight’s listening is straight out of the to drawer. Charles Gayle’s mercurial, inquisitive mind alongside Parker’s relentless drive and heart provide the perfect pairing to provide Ali with a beautiful tribute to a long lost friend. Just stunning from start to finish.

Thanks @mojomagazine.bsky.social for a lovely piece on the legend that is Chip Taylor. His new album The Truth And Other Things plays out like an intimate conversation between old, old friends. Chip's in his eighties now but still possesses the kindest of hearts.. Media folks, PM me for a copy!

I think Zoh Amba will produce something magnificent at some point. This isn’t that but it’s mighty fine nonetheless and my favourite music she’s produced this far.

Hank Mobley - High Voltage
I was a Christmas temp at HMV and used to head onto shop floor and grab cassettes of the rack and give them a spin on my lunchbreak. That cover was just so alluring..

There is some extraordinary music here, ‘Joy’ alone has notes and runs that bring on emotions I never knew I had. A slightly crumpled CD version…

Glorious melodies delicately unpicked and resown as a slight off-kilter masterpiece. A band at the absolute zenith of their powers.

A playful, bouncy start to the day in the company of two absolute giants. I’m feeling a Braxton immersion incoming after picking up Graham Lock’s book.

Being a McLean fanboy it’s lovely to finally get my hands on this live one from ‘73. McLean pushes the hard bop envelope as far as he ever did helped by a mighty fine trio of Drew, Pedersen and Riel. Glorious album!!
