Have you met Shooby Taylor?
Booked a ticket for the Saturday of this wonderful sounding showcase of International Anthem, can’t wait!
Really enjoying this vibraphone jazz album from Sasha Berliner with a great band behind her.
Kuroda with the good shit again
New Corrie Dick record is lovely. It’ll be hard to top his last one for me but this one delivers for sure.

You definitely have. Soccer96 is the drummer and keyboardist from The Comet Is Coming. Maybe a bit more proggy, but definitely still a jazz act.
In no particular order, these were all very enjoyable:
Mali Obomsawin - Sweet Tooth

Village of the sun - First light
Sun-Mi Hong - Third page: Resonance
Alex Hitchcock & Ant Law - Same moon in the same world
Brave new world trio - Seriana Promethea
Tom Skinner - Voices of Bishara
Robert Stillman - What does it mean to be American
Looking forward to this. His last one was great.
