WELCOME ALL
A new year, an old trick. In our island space, this music we call jazz is given a new life by a new generation of players who have a broader perspective. The benefits of diaspora living, maybe. Ironically, however, the technology of the 20th century is back to satisfy the audiophiles who insist that digital technology is cold and clinical, and the pops and clicks of vinyl are the preferred way to hear modern music. It may just be a collector's lucky time to be alive, but archivists and artists are putting their new music on vinyl to an ever increasing global demand. It may be our time now too.
