We were troubled by persistent studio gremlins week – but hopefully the music shone through! It ranged from an outstanding version of Coltrane’s Resolution (the first of two tracks featuring guitarist Bill Frisell) to a new afrobeat 12in single from Montpellier’s Fanga – more signs that afrobeat is now a worldwide style.

In between were classic tracks from Weather Report (Mysterious Traveller) and Art Blakey (Moanin’). As great music does, each made us listen again – the tiny double-tracked soprano sax phrases of Wayne Shorter and the outstanding tenor solo from Benny Golson were reminders of how diverse jazz can be.
