We gather together our favourite tracks right up to the moment these last few days. This is where jazz is currently at it is pretty clear during a massive period of transition as the wheel turns and dangerously repressive conservative forces swirl all around once again. Artists respond whether consciously or not to the pervasive sense, globally, of existential dread and find their own expressive ignition drawing on what is most true to them always and not imposed by hostile regimes or an exclusionary apparent consensus debased by populism and fuelled by gross corporatism.

All new or unreleased and thoroughly recommended.
