The Listening Club - 1st December 2019

Greetings folks, pinch and a punch and all that.

Hope all is fine with you all. Delighted to report that Aldous Harding was truly excellent on Wednesday, a stunning performance indeed. And got a few decent gigs lined up for December, which should chase away the grey chills, I should hope...

Last week in these environs, @adam_steinert was in the chair for his debut pick, Roland Kirk's 1961 set "We Free Kings", which bopped the assembled quite nicely. Thanks to Adam for the pick, and for sailing the frisb across the sea to @xpollen8, who's right here with tonight's intro...

"I've been holding this one back for some time and only realized how SHORT it is after reviewing it.  If you want more, check out the 'tube.

Today's artist has graduated to film composition and music teaching, but in his younger days he produced music and had his own bands.

This selection is packed with ideas and the skills to execute.  I saw him once in a dingy club in San Francisco and it still ranks among my most memorable shows. He's that good. And funny, too."

See you tonight at 8pm GMT.
