Listened to a lot of exceptional Jazz for #5albums63 this last fortnight, all of it made me keep going back to one of the standout tracks of 2022. Hip Hop & Jazz fans need this in their life…

Only posting this one for #15TopGigs, the single most profound concert I’ve ever experienced. Roy Harper’s 70th Birthday concert at RFH in 2011. My heart burst open with pure emotion and many tears of joy were shed.

Greenaway/Nyman collaborations were a staple of my adolescence. Obviously I didn’t understand most of the content at the time, but the symbiotic link between visual and musical art had undeniable resonance.
Michael Nyman - Memorial
https://youtu.be/L7oQmvLqB8Q
#Random365 21/02/23
A minute of soulful crooning and a minute and a half blitz of garage punk rock. A 2m30s belter of a song from a hugely underrated talent who deserves more ears…
Benjamin Booker - Off The Ground
https://youtu.be/2QP9VlRzDLQ
#Random365 22/02/23
Spellbinding production from @LucaNieri4 allowing space for Chester’s introspection to soar. Brilliant cameo from @MCDRS and wonderful animation from @SojoAni too.
