Ok so first of all both DJs were sick during the recording of this podcast. Olly was nursing some vicious, gut-dwelling-nausea-inducing bug that refused to succumb to the privations of Pepto Bismol and Alasdair was just wracked by the sheer overwhelming tragedy of the human condition. So it’s a laid back, many would say ‘sexy’ show voiced by our two poorly anti-heroes.

Annoyingly this is PROBABLY THE BEST SHOW YET which just goes to show that being off your game and dragging a** gives great results everytime! School children would do well to remember this lesson. We’ve got some Belluruche, Sahara and a jazz singer with a voice like honey dripping off Beyoncé’s naked body. We also have Olly’s kind of classical music, and Alasdair’s kind of jazz music. It really is a jolly good romp and you should stop reading this right now and just listen to it. Why are you still reading? Why? WHY? OBEY ME!

P.s. I know I wrote the phrases ‘School children’ and ‘honey dripping off Beyoncé’s naked body’ in the same paragraph. It’s not weird. You’re weird.

Because we can – and because we have to

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
