Courtney Pine has been part of the global music scene for decades. His constantly evolving approach to music, and jazz music, in particular, has made him an endearing and engaging musician. I have seen him perform with artists in different settings, from school halls to large fabled concert venues. Every time, Pine brings to the …
Single Review: “Big”- Rainn Byrns
Ahh this song’s lyrics make me laugh…. “Charlie’s made it big on the TV set and I’m still cleaning toilets trying not to regret…” This song is typical of Rain’s sense of humour and backed with summery surfer vibe this calls for some serious airplay. The way that this song is performed, it’s just …

Hello Sammy, how are you? Very well, thank you. Congratulations on the release of The Wonder Of Jazz. How does it feel? I feel nervous and excited. It is also like letting something go. Once something is released, you lose a bit of the control over it, and the sudden release from the immersion can …
Single Review: “Know Me” – Days Of Rome
The thing I like about this song is its quirkiness, the intro makes you think it’s a soulful slow jam, but when the beat drops, it’s anything but. What do I mean? Well at around 0:10 a trumpet comes in, and then we get treated to a scratch, straight into the drums, bass, and guitar …

Single Review: “Garden” – Night Porter
This song is gorgeous. The piano part is full of lovely chords… but it’s not this that catches you. It’s the chorus. The oohs and the duetted saxophone, is what caught my ear. This is how I’m introduced gently this sunny morning to the new duo Night Porter. Technically they aren’t new to me, at …
