A new 24-hour radio platform One Jazz that Chris Philips and Jez Nelson are ''putting on at the end of May,'' is to start up soon.

Chris, like Jez, a Jazz FM DJ for many years, adds: ''It will be online and smart speakers, hopefully mobile app too at launch or shortly thereafter. We decided to put together a team of volunteers to populate and curate with us, on this self funded venture. The intention is to lead on new music and challenge the listener with music normally marginalised to late nights.''

Not a patch on earlier work - it's too much to ask to surpass The Epic. However, there are some enjoyable moments from one of the few jazz superstars of his generation to deserve anything approaching such a tag - the rapport with Thundercat on 'Asha the First' is lively and you'd certainly get the party started if you put on 'Get Lit'. The American saxist's third album - guests include André 3000 and George Clinton. Pick of the album: 'Together'. Out today.
