Thanks for the huge amount of information, I was going to try and get along there, but sadly did not make it. Must try harder next year !
Yeah I got a bit carried away with the postings, but was still on a buzz!
Do check out some of this great music being released and check back with your comments & recomendations.
Btw tickets for We Out Here Festival, named after the above mentioned compilation album, curated by Giles Peterson may still be available…

I’ll be at the We out here festival, That Kokoroko you tube video is wack
I’ve never been to a festival where I own vinly by so many of the artists, them being - Kokoroko, Sons of Kemet, Maisha, Ill Considered, Ishmael ensemble, Anti flo, Skinny Pelembe - bring it on.
Nice one Holmes, looks set to be a great festival disappointingly I can’t make this one.
Btw be great if you could check in from time to time with any links and recommendations.
I love Collocutor’s music & have a few of thier records. They’ll be at the We Out Here Festival, too.
some other uk jazz groups i like. not mentioned yet here.
yussef dayes
Nostalgia 77, Kamaal Williams, Resolution 88
Yeah the improvised Ill Considered recordings are awesome, looking forward to seeing them next weekend. In fact I was demoing a Nait XS2 last weekend using Ill Considered
This is one of my standout favorites from the last year, with a lot of characters that feature in the bands above, but I find it hard to label it Jazz.
