Blimey - time flew today/ I was busy doing some paperwork and then went over to Sittingbourne to do a covert phone shop visit. then I did the report, had pizza and watched a TV programme and then wow - it is already late!

The weather was a mixture of sunny spells, some rain and very blustery winds.

So where did that time go? Sometimes we need to stand back and just view time slipping by.

Some new jazz issues from the Wire reviews -

Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela - We've Landed



The first single from Tony Allen & Hugh Masekela's very special collaboration, out March 20th on World Circuit. Preorder or Presave: http://worldcircuit.lnk.to/Rejoice

‘Rejoice’ is a very special collaboration between Tony Allen, the legendary drummer and co-founder of Afrobeat, and Hugh Masekela, the master trumpet player of South African jazz.

Having first met in the 70s thanks to their respective close associations with Fela Kuti, the two world-renowned musicians talked for decades about making an album together. When, in 2010, their touring schedules coincided in the UK, the moment presented itself and producer Nick Gold took the opportunity to record their encounter. The unfinished sessions, consisting of all original compositions by the pair, lay in the archive until after Masekela passed away in 2018. With renewed resolution, Tony Allen and Nick Gold, with the blessing and participation of Hugh Masekela’s estate, unearthed the original tapes and finished recording the album in summer 2019 at the same London studio where the original sessions had taken place.

Are you much of a daredevil?

Are you a good liar?

Are you a good judge of character?
