A few years ago we used to broadcast an annual Blowin Best Of The Year, but I found that format restrictive. So, instead, I’d like to announce that Blowin was right keen on these – and many more – in 2009:

Warp 20 (Chosen); Francophonic 2; Scientist – Dub From The Ghetto; and Fever Ray. Get ’em!

It is a truth universally acknowledged – at least round our house it is – that we don’t play near enough jazz on these programmes.

To go a little way to make up for that, here’s the Jazz Video Cafe, a collection of Youtube pieces put together by Mosiac Records www.jazzvideocafe.com

Don’t like jazz?

Try Mahalia Jackson getting ecstatic with Nat King Cole www.jazzvideocafe.com/?v=-O5hz5KnSdc

Or a short clip from the 1948 classic Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, with Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston, father of director John Huston www.jazzvideocafe.com/?v=EQyqvFVe4Y4
