The playlist for 14th April is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Tracks not played in the order intended, but this happens when shows are live and when contending with an engineer in the studio fixing issues- hence the 10.41 first track! Some great new releases appearing!

The House of Winser’s Substack thehouseofwinser.substack.com?r=6ob0yw&utm...

Playlist for Tuesday 7th April up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Just about every style of jazz I could think of. phonic is a home for extended tracks ('cos we can!) but few jazz tracks are shorter than the Elis Regina track at 1'35!

Tuesday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com I continue to be amazed at the sound quality of some of the early recordings I play - this weeks Cannonball Adderley & Milt Jackson from 1958 for example.

Pleased to say that the website is fully up to date again at www.edgeofjazz.com Having a break is great..but the downside is the accumulation of things that need doing when you get back!

10 days without intenet connection of phone has left me with a mountain of paperwork, website work and e mails which I'm slowly working my way through. Website should be updated by early next week. Apologies for tardiness!

Yesterday's playlist up at www.edgeofjazz.com Parts of the playlist were pretty languid - as befitted the studio temperature which even with the air con and fan full on was 25c. Cool jazz for a hor afternoon, indeed! Kate Gamm sits in next week.

The 5th August playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.comThe Lee Morgan track was the oldest (1956) and for the first time ever I managed to play a request on the day it was asked for. Thanks, Adrian, and more 'Stuff' to come after more digging in the crates

Finally...the playlist is up at www.edgeofjazz.com and the show is available to listen to @mixcloud.bsky.social , but with the obviois blunder about the date, which should read 22nd. Must do better!

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Quite a contrat in drum sounds, as illstrated by Dizzy Gilespie's 1947 track and the new album from @kokoroko where the drum and bass combo is awesome!

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com Some old,(1956), some new (2025) and some unreleased as yet. I tried to fit music to the weather, but largely failed! Even with air-con full on, the studio was really warm yesterday!

Special thanks to Kate Gamm for sitting in on Edge of Jazz last week. Her admirable choice is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com This week, to quote Calvin Coolidge it'll be 'back to normalcy', whatever that is....

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com For various reasons it wasn't the show that I'd planned, but it hung together quite well, and I took the opportunity afforded by our no playlists no advert policy to sneak in(!) a 14 minute Miles David track - in full

Yesterday's playlist is up now at www.edgeofjazz.com The Charles Mingus was the oldest and #BettyAcorrsi the most recent. Some belting oldies especially the #Richrd'groove'Holmes which I found digging in the crates.

Yesterday's playlist is up at www.edgeofjazz.com The oldest track yesterady was #RayCharles & #MiltJackson from 1957 and illustrated just how different recorded sound was then and now - very little bass and starnge stereo separation.
