Straight No Chaser: Paul Bradshaw

Paul Bradshaw is the editor/publisher of the iconic Straight No Chaser magazine. He presents his monthly WWFM show.

The past five years have flown by and I have to give thanks and praise to the WWFM for allocating a couple of hours every month to the 'Interplanetary Sounds - Ancient To Future' vision that was pioneered by Straight No Chaser magazine. Each month I've been blown away by an incredible flow of new music and I've had the pleasure of hosting numerous chats in the studio with the likes of Val Wilmer, Penny Reel RIP, Anthony Joseph, Malik Al Nasir and Jeff Parker, amongst others, while hosting live sessions from Steve Williamson, Wildflower, Tori Handsley, Wojtek Masolewski Quintet and De Lata. For this "final" WWFM show my special guest is the super talented David Ijaduola who talks about his forthcoming Lucumi Suite – a deep and sophisticated fusion of Afrobeat and Trinidadian Steel Pan music. Also in the mix: we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the seminal 'Grounation' LP set by Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari, touch down on the electric Miles Davis and savour a trio of offerings from the 70's jazz workshops of Detroit, NYC and Kingston JA. A luta continua!!
