absolutely gorgeous close to a rich and edifying session LBH. it had me from the bossa start-point (of course), but standouts along the way were the Andreya Triana one, (what must have been) Sarah Tandy's piece, Jasmine Myra's 'words left unspoken' and (definitely) that Jensen & Golan ending. perfect for making any garden grow. happy friday there, P🙏🧘♂️🖖
Cheers Papa, could have guessed that Joyce and the Shigeto remix of Andrea T would have worked for you, can imagine either of those turning up in one of your sets.
Love that final Lili Boulanger piece but I've only known it for about a year when I first heard it as a live performance at a local church by violinist Jane Gordon and pianist Jan Rautio. The composer died when she was only twenty-four, and wrote Nocturne when she was only eighteen. Her sister, Nadi Boulanger, was also a composer in her early years before becoming a teacher at the Paris Conservatoire. If Wikipedia can be trusted, then Nadia Boulanger's many students included Philip Glass, Quincy Jones and Astor Piazzola. Blimey.

PS Have you noticed this amazing jazz festival that you've got coming up down the road from you in Stroud, in April?

Hail to all the Queens!
Beautiful and tasteful selection, John.
I particularly liked tracks by Little Simz and Hempress Sativa.
This wonderful piece by Rachel Kitchlew was the cherry on top for me.
Cheers 😊
Got my first chance to hear Rachel Kitchlew play live the other weekend when Sholto played The Lower Third, a great night of music.
Glad you liked both the tuff and tender aspects of this set, I really enjoyed putting it together.
Have a good week, Andras!
enjoying mate! Little Simz is always on form!
allysha joy also fab!
A ton of respect for Little Simz, a real original.🎤🔥
Also one of the sounds of real London 2026 (as opposed to the paranoid fantasy peddled by nationalist grifters).
@playjazzloud Allysha Joy praise = my excuse to repost this video of her walking through my South London neighbourhood, despite her coming from Melbourne. 😄

Real beauty here and throughout this mix. Wonderful female energy-
Thanks BDR 🙏.
Been enjoying your Lovers Dub 03 set this week. Zara MacFarlane's "East Of The Nile" would have fitted just as well into this set, I reckon.
love this Jasmine Myra track. top!
Rio Carnival ➡️ Notting Hill ➡️ Montreux in an hour! Impeccable selection J. Loads to explore 🙏
Music is the universal language, and we all speak it around this corner of Mixcloud 😉
Thanks Rob 🙏
Really enjoying this, John - cheers:)
Cheers Simon, thanks for listening 🙏
Such a beautiful variety of striking performances by these woman of sound, John! And the ones new to me make want to hear more.
Thanks Patrick. It would have been four times as long or more if I'd tried to include everyone that I wanted to. There's no Zoe Rahman, for example. But then Magda Brand's got that covered in her latest Female Jazz Composers episode...
https://www.mixcloud.com/magdabrandortizdezevallos/female-jazz-composers-14/
...recommended, but it's probably on your listening list already.
beautiful female voices.......I wouldn't like to single out any of this queens! Beautiful session, John! Tnx!
Cheers Ivan.
Agreed, big up all the (h)empresses ✊
