steve-bbb Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) sheeesh radio stations and their playlists so bloody fickle - this guy has been around for a few years and pretty much 'mainstream ignored' but we can just about forgive their crass commercial ways when they occasionally latch on to something this good (radio2 have been giving it airplay lately and it seems to be slowly catching on at last) [media]http://youtu.be/D2Hmte-DNuw[/media] Edited June 6, 2014 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyYama Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I seem to remember that he played on bbc2 on[i] later with jools holland[/i] at least once. That sort of exposure can do wonders for a band, look at imelda may for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 He's an award winning Jazzer. Jazz rarely gets mainstream play other than on the "Jazz Hour" on some channels. Another chap you may like is Kurt Elling. He's a very similar style of jazz & has a tremendous range. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7YkzVphoCg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZAZ21NnmHw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 It is rather good. He does a great cover of Take 5 with Al Jarreau. [url="http://youtu.be/wL2W4UPGUBo"]http://youtu.be/wL2W4UPGUBo[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
