The revival
Once upon a time, I compiled lists of songs and musicians that I had stumbled upon. The compilation of lists, links and music were often accompanied by rambling prose and an odd lament at the passing of Top of the Pops.

What a weekend; friends, family, loved ones, drink, food, sun and then there was music. Rarely do all of these things align but when they do, boy do they fall into place!

Catablog of Music 24.2
Jose James – Park Bench People
Jose James is a US Jazz/Soul/Blues vocalist signed to Giles Peterson’s Brownswood records. James resurrects a style that reminds me of a gritty Mel Tormé, a male Billy Holiday and a super baritone jazz incarnation of Bilal.
