No theme – just great music. Some new jazz from Hajime Yoshizawa and a couple of tracks from the first batch of ECM budget reissues in the Touchstone series including Jack de Johnette’s magical take on Coltrane’s India. A 70s rarity from Hadley Caliman, a favourite from Soil and Pimp Sessions and an unusually soulful track from one of our favourites - Andrew Hill. Longer tracks included McCoy Tyner’s magnificent Message from the Nile and a new one from Seun Kuti, Fela’s youngest son.

Thanks to our callers and emailers this week – especially Pete for a few crumbs from his competition sized knowledge pie! Your contributions are always welcome.
