It's often the way these days that I hardly have the opportunity to take stock of what I'm doing especially the one weekend in a month when I have back to back radio shows. Consequently by the time I came round to editing this, I'd more or less completely forgotten what I'd played. I was pleasantly surprised by just how much I enjoyed listening back (or at least skimming through to remind myself), hope the same goes for you... 1.Michael Kiwanuka - Black Man In A White World 2.

I wish I had the time to write!! With one of my 8 month old twin boys perched on my knee, and the other screaming in his chair it's a tad tricky. However my weekly music refuge on a Sunday night is a little sanctuary from all the joys and strains of parenthood. The Cosmic Jam is a twenty one mile round trip by bike and an hour and three quarter journey to the far reaches of my musical mind... or something like that... still. I also am enjoying getting out there again to play for the people and this Saturday it's a welcome return to the lovely Brilliant Corners for a strictly vinyl session on their audiophile system along side the Feeling Good don Harv Nagi and Southern Soul Festival supremo Marko Pavlovic. Two of London's most dedicated purveyors of jazzual radio sounds teaming up for a proper session. Check us if you can! https://www.facebook.com/events/1661667644100263/ Until next time... Peace! 1.

A man who shone so brightly, lifted so many hearts, who provided a million dollar backbeat to so many hits before he took his mission West and forged in the Serpentine Fire of spiritual potential the greatest, most transcendent music machine to have walked this planet. Maybe it's easier to think of Maurice White as passed than waylaid by Parkinson's, his fire will burn ever brightly, for now and always. Are you satisfied In your life and time Does it clear you mind With all the hurt you find? Built on Mother Earth They were meant to stay Nations bloom today On gifts of yesterday Born of the Earth, are nature's children Fed by the Wind, the breath of life Judged by the fiery hands of God World goes by the hand Of the master plan Can't you understand You're but a grain of sand Do you need a guide To make you feel satisfied? Head to the sky Will tell you why Born of the Earth, are nature's children Fed by the Wind, the breath of life Judged by the fiery hands of God 1. Ramsey Lewis Trio - Uhuru 2. Ramsey Lewi

I'm of that generation, I experienced the "Starman" moment seeing David Bowie on Top Of The Pops with a shock of orange spikes, dressed in clothes that defied description, putting his arm around Mick Ronson in a way that seems so innocuous today but was extraordinary then. At school the following day it felt as though the world had rearranged itself overnight to accommodate this beguiling new presence, similarly when the news broke on Monday morning it was like losing one of the major coordinates of my world, I felt disorientated and adrift, this time in a bad way. David Bowie was just a phenomenal artist who defined the seventies, the decade belonged to him; from glam to soul to ambient, from straight up rock'n roll to new contours of sonic wizardry, Bowie took us on a helter-skelter ride reinventing himself again and again, and all with a consummate cool and a fiery creativity. I wouldn't pretend that Bowie made a telling contribution to black music, and Luther Vandross had quite enough talent to make it

O.K. so maybe I could have dug even deeper, but hopefully you'll appreciate that with the birth of my twin boys, crate diggin' time is limited, so recourse to few old favourites in this selection. Nevertheless it's not exactly obvious unless you're one of those chin stroking jazz snobs. I'd been wanting to do a kind of "pure" jazz show for a while, the criteria could have been even more stringent, I could have outlawed all electric instruments, but I did want to keep some variety. I can't remember the last time I played something from the Riverside label on the show, so slipping a couple into the first half hour was kind of satisfying, great tunes from Jimmy Heath and Clifford Jordan. Then there's vocals, a scat masterclass from Jon Hendricks, Ann Young tearing up a standard and The Metronomes with silky smooth harmonies. I also decided to do a mini Prestige feature.... what's the difference between Blue Note and Prestige, a day's rehearsal.... yes it is the kind of ugly sister of classic jazz labels, mor

The really important issues of the day like the fate of Labour under Jeremy Corbyn and the mysteries of infant colic are things The Cosmic Jam has no licence to deal with. Whatever else is going on in the world or in my life melts away for two hours on a Sunday night, and that's the way it should be. Music is our sanctuary through all times. 1.
