A NEW FEATURE on my blog, CostaVibes... a mix of 9ine recommended tracks from forthcoming and newly released albums;

Track 1: ‘Land Of The Pharoahs’ from the eagerly awaited forthcoming album by Woodland Conclave (Infracom Records), an uplifting left-field spiritual joint from Perry Hemus and the guys that’s created a buzz over the past few months.

Track 2: ‘More Love’ by The Robert Glasper Experiment ft. King from ‘Black Radio’ (Blue Note). The first big album of 2012 and further evidence that the future of jazz lies within music without frontiers... BAM! (For my Espana amigos, Robert is touring Spain in April as part of the Jazz In Blue Festival).

Track 3: ‘Little Sunflower’ by Munich bass player Jerker Kluger’s Deep Jazz from ‘The Meeting’ (Perfect Toy Records). A vocal version of Freddie Hubbard’s classic that gets a unique makeover using a rhythm section featuring flute/alto, tenor and bass-clarinet as well as concert harp.

Track 4: ‘Whole Lotta Love’ by Michael Kinanuka recorded in session at the BBC Maida Vale Studios. Michael is defo the man of the moment, voted winner of BBC’s Sound Of 2012… and he’s still to release a full length album.

Track 5: ‘Dance The Dance (Atjazz Remix’) from Jazzanova’s ‘Upside Down’ (Sonar Kollektiv). When house music meets jazz it doesn´t get any better than this.

Track 6: ‘Mayame’ by Novalima from 'Karimba' (ESL Music). The Grammy nominated guys are on a mission to revolutionize Afro-Peruvian music.

Track 7: ‘Rooster Was A Witness’ by Neil Cowley Trio from ‘The Face Of Mount Molehill (Naim Jazz), a pulsating piece with soaring strings featuring Cowley's dynamic piano playing.

Track 8: ‘Rain Dance’ by Kenny Wellington from ‘In Retrospect’ (MBJ Records). From his second solo project, the Light Of The World founder member still carries the UK Jazz Funk torch with an added modern contemporary twist.

Track 9: ‘Look Around The Corner’ by Quantic and Alice Russell with the Combo Barbaro from the forthcoming album of the same name (Tru Thoughts). This has Rotary Connection written all over it.

THIS IS the pilot episode about my perspective on the history of the UK Jazz Dance scene.

First in a series of mixes inspired by 'From Jazz Funk & Fusion To Acid Jazz - The History Of The UK Jazz Dance Scene' written by my friend Mark 'Snowboy' Cotgrove, the definitive book on the subject, and the producers, musicians & DJ's who have championed the music over the past 30+ years.

As a DJ my story starts Christmas 1978 and how soon after I became a jazz funk addict when I bought my first jazz album, Herbie Hancock's 'Sunlight'. My musical journey has taken me to BBC local radio for 5 years, crate digging around the globe for my record biz Virgo Vibes, before ending up in Spain at the San Javier Int'l Jazz Festival. I've interviewed some of my hero's along the way, the likes of Roy Ayers & Mark Murphy and I'm proud to have befriended two of the scenes pivotal figures Paul Murphy & Gilles Peterson.
