And we’re back.
8th February: www.soulandjazz.com launched its unique, legal and commercial free podcasting service on the 18th May, 2009. Seventy-six countries have now managed to get their ears around the music we play and our target of one hundred – well over half of the world, is the goal for the year. Recent converts include listeners in Tunisia, Kazakhstan and Monaco and all are welcome. Great music undoubtedly needs to be heard and all of us here at S&J realise the part we have to play in getting it out there.
So, we return for February with an excellent trio of shows brimming full of great music. The Hurst Selection features forthcoming, new and current tracks from the great and the good. Highlights include the very first play of Avery Sunshine’s track ‘All in My Head’ and the return of Sheree Brown – the new girl at Hidden Beach! You’ll find the full tracklisting below and the show itself will be available to download from 9th February. The Jazz 60 returns for the first time in 2010 and features thirteen tracks. Of great interest is the show’s opener ‘Ebb & Flow’ from Tia Fuller, forthcoming from March’s Mack Avenue release ‘Decisive Steps’ and features both Sean Jones and Christian McBride. Incredible. We’re also delighted to present some very special Extra Inches – Decades: 1980’s Vol.5. All thirteen tracks are from the original vinyl copies and sound great in this fifth retrospective of that particular decade.
Before we finally get you to the show details, you can hear Brian Hurst live every Saturday night on Atlanta, Georgia’s WCLK 91.9 FM or on-line: www.wclk.com (6:00 – 9:00 p.m. EST). The Hurst Selection – London to Atlanta is a three hour show with a contemporary blend of soul and jazz and just about everything else inbetween. The response has been amazing and we hope to confirm in the next month an additional US station that will be adding some real music to their roster.
