[Serial_Apologist]

J-Life - Jason Yarde (ts,ss) Julie Dexter (vo) Robert Mitchell (p) Darren Taylor (b) Daniel Crosby (d) - on a C90 from an Impressions broadcast on R3 from 1997. The band, which had been Tomorrow's Warriors under Crosby Sr.'s leadership up to that point, had had a name change because, as Yarde told Brian Morton, it's about the jazz life now; Tomorrow's Warriors did, and indeed does carry on under Gary Crosby as an educational vehicle for up-and-coming youngsters, however - people like Shabaka Hutchings came up by that route. Id forgotten just how good this particular band was.
