This month Straight No Chaser's Paul Bradshaw delivers a straight ahead interplanetary mix of mostly new music and the odd vinyl re-issue. From the States we get james Brandon Lewis, Irreversible Entanglements, Jamire Williams, Kahil El Zabar and David Ornette Cherry; from South Africa - three pianists / Gideo Nxumalo, Mervyn Africa and the brilliant Kyle Shepherd; from Scandinavia the nu-skool talent of Linda Frederiksson; from PR the brilliant IFE; and from the UK Ill Considered, saxophonist supreme Nat Birchall and holding up the Lagos - Islington connection - Little Simz... No words but a few nods to the up-coming London Jazz Festival... think Moor Mother and Nick Drake.
