Some longish pieces in the jazz section to start the show, including a tribute to Flamenco master and occasional fusionist Paco DeLucia who died last week, all too young. Canadian band Jazzsoul Orchestra are world touring and due to do a one stop visit in the UK on 1st April (London's Jazz Cafe). Newie from session guitarist Nir Felder, labelled 'jazz' elsewhere but sounding to cover quite a bit of territory musically. Samples of how to cover or perhap not to cover other bands' music (IMHO), the band being Cream and good comng from Nguyen Le and the 'so what' from Onesko/Bogert/Ceo. Three short late 60's tracks, all heavily used in discos at the time - plus the CCR tune having been recent sampled by the Beeb for their programme but not getting to the vocals - this makes up for that omission. And then the usual, unusual mix - I hope......

As promised two example of new jazz, making the UK critics sit up: Manchester's GoGo Penguin and the US's Snarky Puppy, the latter of whom are also wowing W Europe and will star in the forthcoming Cheltenham Jazz Festival over Easter. 'v2.0 'is GoGoPenguin's second album, quote: 'full of classical triplets and dance beats' and suggesting themselves heirs to EST crown, although some tracks here suggest themselves to be possible EST rejects. More from Motorpsyche's newie - strongly recommended. Animals As Leaders also have a new album out today (Tuesday) and in my terminology this is heavy math rock but suggested elsewhere as heavy progressive. I don't hear progression across their  3 relatively enjoyable albums, however. I still wonder if  their music doesn't stand up to lots of replaying, since a couple of tunes seem to evolve from noodling around, to find an apparently interesting sounding chord, then extending it to 4 minutes without really augmenting it other than a few synth flourishes... but thenI haven't reached the overplay stage nor complete boredom  yet. And then the usual wild mix of largely obscure bands and their tunes e.g. Wuthering Height (a Danish metal folk band) you'll love or hate; Karthago a German 70's heavy, Hammond driven, rock band (good, but not quite as good as Frumpy's few recordings); Ambergris, 2nd level brass rock perhaps not taking themselves as seriously as Chicago or BST.

fter sampling a couple of psychedelic folk tunes last week, inspired to play just music that would have been released by December 1969, this week while many of the albums raided are recent remasters. SO imagine tuning into your favourite underground music show around that time. Ten Years After to kick off, possibly surprisingly being labelled 'jazz rock', taken from their second album Undead featuring second rate blues but first class jazz fused with rock. (I once asked the late Alvin Lee, circa 1973,  "Why weren't TYA playing jazz rock anymore?" in Lufbra's ENTs Office, response: "Hey Man we're not into that anymore" - end of story, I guess. Otherwise some obvious tunes and a few obscure. In fact it came down to grabbing the first 20 albums that were nearest on my shelves, and subsequently half regretting not having the time to include the first Renaissance, Led Zeppelin (but two of the folks apparently ripped off on the first Led Zep album are represented), what of Pink Floyd (well, even so I had to squeeze my favourites Soft Machine in by the back door). BTW if you're interested, a lo-fi recording of last week's show has been made - more details later.

Next week Led Bib fine new album will feature - thanks Joyce and Xavier.
