Black Classical

Damn this is a good mix. Greg got in touch with us via a post about jazz covers, and after a discussion I suggested he do a mix for us. And what a mix; if you like jazz you’ll love it – it’s not been off my iPod since I started listening. Loads of records that are as rare as a copy of the Daily Mail that doesn’t make you want to bite through a table in irritation. Here’s some words from Greg:

—
NORTHERN COMFORT vs BLACK CLASSICAL

—
Dedicated to my first set of teachers:
—
Hewan Clarke, (still looking for Sue Rainey – Cinnamon and Clove-damn) Colin Curtis, Richard Searling, Mike Chadwick, Mike Shaft and last but no means least Greg Wilson.

Thanks a million guys for both the introduction to Jazz and the education – hope you get to hear it!

Also for my friends:
el reza, bacoso, katonah, el goog-ja, wara katsu, ish, simon666, el cuki, killer groove, swboy, cheeba, cabinboy, blue burning soul, jazz neeko, taro nobei, g.raf, baby grandpa, emile, corivmax, wall of sound, messiah, miles, seymor and gary nurse, marshall smith, jerry barry and anyone else who i may have forgotten – not on purpose catch you next time…

I’ve actually converted the file to MP3 too, and I’ve put both links below.

Big up Greg, and check out this mix. Perfect for Sundays when it’s foggy outside.
