Episode 1 in the third series of The Current State of Music.
Its great to be having these conversations again, after an extended break (yeah covid and all that) and I'm so pleased to kick things off with someone whose music I have been enchanted with for years.
I picked up Day To Day in If Music after it was recommended by Jean Claude, also noticing it was on Ninja Tune and then grabbed My East Is Your West a couple of years later. It was this album that really blew my mind, the energy of the performance, the atmosphere iterally jumping off the record. Its not often a live album can capture the energy in the room, but everything about this album is glorious.
Fast forward a little and the release of More Arriving saw a slight change of direction, increased conciousness, a harder sound and I saw himm and his band at a small gig in Brighton and was blown away.
He was kind enough to provide something for a radio show I produced for International Jazz Day in 21 called Jazz For People That Think They Don't Like Jazz on.soundcloud.com/U8cQy talking about what got him into jazz, and from that I knew he'd make a great guest on this podcast.

I hope you enjoy the conversation and I'll be making the mix I created as the bed available soon to listen to.
If you do enjoy this podcast, a review and some stars on whichever platform you use would be greatly appreciated.
