79. Today a recent ‘at home improvisation’ from Stirling-based keyboardist Steve Hamilton, known around the world for his work with Billy Cobham, Pee Wee Ellis, Ray Charles, Bill Bruford & Eddi Reader to name a few, & to some of us for his electronic music also. Really lovely.

← 78. It’s a truism to say that the jazz of today could not exist without the music that has come before, that of our elders. Today’s pick is a dear favourite of this humble listener: the late Glaswegian tenor saxman, Bobby Wellins, playing in The Stan Tracey Quartet, ‘Starless and Bible Black’. Beautiful.
80. OK, here’s a top tip you heard first from here: this Aberdeen band is going to be really big at music festivals over the next few years. The Hamlet Collective is superb fun, fusing jazz with Afro-beat & Scottish traditional music for example. Shout out too, to the band’s drummer Richard Glassby who has just been awarded the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s George Duncan Prize for Jazz Composition – nice one! ??? →
