The Midnight Hour
Freeness
Corey Mwamba shares music tracks with guest Adam Moses, co-founder of jazz re:freshed, a movement that began in 2003 as a weekly live musical residency in west London and which has since grown into a multi-faceted organisation, with the aim of challenging elitism and prejudice within the jazz community.

Looks like standing room only.

Rob Luft is a musician who has recently snuck up on me. The duo album with Elina Duni has been getting a lot of publicity on some websites and it typical of a lot of what ECM issue when they are looking to bridge the gap between jazz and folk music. The clips I have heard really pull you in to the music and the guitar playing seems to owe something to the kind of music Bill Frisell would play when he was signed to ECM. I am not sure how much of this is really "jazz" but this recording is beautiful in my opinion and an interesting contrast to the version I am aware of by the great Eric Bibb:-
