Playlist: Welcome to Jazz Club Volume 2

New York, New York

Right in time for Valentines! 18 months of hard toil and finally a hopefully half decent playlist to show for it.

Picking up where the first volume left off, this has a little bit of hiphop edge at the end for good measure, but continues the good work for the first outing, opening with Robert Glasper which soon walks to Syreeta's gentle classic Black Maybe, a record recently featured on the excellent MoWest compilation. Alice Coltrane, Gil Scott-Heron, Dave Pike Set and Marlena Shaw all effortlessly work their wares amongst heaps more of my favourites.

The artwork is quality too, crossing the Hudson, from my friend from Church (and the coolest!) Stephanie Imbeau.
