A marvellous edition of The Jazz 60 awaits this week as we concentrate mainly on the music of 2009. Exceptions come from The Haggis Horns with the blistering ‘The Traveller (Part II)’ from 2008, ‘Funky Goldman’ from Soil And Pimp Sessions in 2007 and a fabulous album that we mysteriously overlooked last year – The Steve Carter Group and ‘Cosmopolis’. We feature the title track here.

Two of the finest contemporary releases this year come from the Far Out Recordings stable and we feature tracks from both Alex Malheiros & Banda Utopia (x2) and the Brazilian Groove Band. Other fine tracks from the year include Robert Glasper, Spyro Gyra, Ronnie Laws and a track from the excellent Stefon Harris & Blackout from their ‘Urbanus’ album. We finish at pace with Down To The Bone featuring Roy Ayers from the ‘Future Boogie’ CD. Eleven tracks packed into 60 minutes – no fillers!

We will always endevour to create an affiliate link to the original album , whether you are buying a CD or downloading. However, if a digital copy does not exist from the original source we will look for an alternative which uses the full length original version i.e. from a ‘Best of…’ or compilation.
