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.

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
