Retail, a new compilation of some of improviser guitarist Billy Jenkins' most cherished material, is released today and represents a hearty sampling of his work that includes tracks from Blues Zero Two, Still Sounds Like Bromley, I Am A Man from Lewisham, Sounds Like Bromley, Suburbia, The Semi-Detached Suburban Home, Uncommerciality Volume 3 and Ghost Music. Bandleader Jenkins, known for his work with Ginger Baker and nurturing new generation talent who included notably altoist Nat Facey early in his career, is a one-off. BJ's zany humour, that sits nicely with the routines of Stewart Lee these days (as it did as long ago as the 1990s), his astute ability to lampoon and skewer sacred cows mercilessly as well as delivering dazzling, anarchic, bluesy and avant riffs into the bargain is second to none. Link to buy. Billy Jenkins, top
