February 2022 and the inevitable has happened... Paul B got licked down by the OMICRON variant and so, from the isolation of his Stokie flat, he decided to delve in the record collection that's provided the soundtrack to his removal from the world to create the Straight No Chaser: COVID Isolation/Rapid Recovery Mix. What we get is a set that mirrors his musical selekshaans at the long standing monthly Freedom: The Art Improvisation session in Dalston. Stay locked to the journey that delivers Ancestral Echoes and takes us from the Kings Of Mali to the ghost of Marcus Garvey to Broadway NYC and a Birdland Story.
