Like the magnificent David Fincher film of the same same sort-of name, this episode melds (yes ‘melds’) intrigue, sex and Shostakovich into a heady thirty minutes of pure aural beatitude.*  This episode brings us full circle via the two glorious twin arcs of classical and jazz music back to our very first few episodes recorded when Alasdair still had hair and Olly still had hope.  So we mark the return of the irrepressible Hazlitt, the unstoppable Alony, the swinging Steve Blanco Trio and some dude called Billie Holiday.

GetJazzical has also, through extensive talks with it’s legion of accountants, decided to purchase a wee HD camera because HD is cool and without HD you are, frankly, a knob.  So expect the twin delights of Olly & Ali in all their gloriously unusual splendor very shortly.  That is all.

*  The film ‘Sev7en’ does not feature any Shostakovich, nor does our episode. It does however provide a pleasant alliteration.  Our show also does not feature and sex, sexiness or sextons.

After our launch two weeks ago we’ve been amazed at the positive, constructive and ebullient feedback that has graced the GetJazzical mailbox. It seems that there really is a burgeoning contemporary classical and jazz scene out there and they are hungry! So thank you for getting in touch and allowing us to play your pioneering and progressive music. This week we’ve got the funky, fantastic Belleruche, a man who TIME magazine called “An exceptionally accomplished all-around musician.” The awesome Aussie Fourplay String Quartet, the sublime German Alony and finally a resonating track by Starr Parodi who we are fortunate enough to be interviewing for next weeks’ podcast. It’s a real treat ladies and gents, enjoy
