Great new music on Cosmic Jazz this week: a brilliant new Horo label compilation provided our opener and we featured brand new music from Erik Truffaz and John McLauglin, together with a further track from Gwilym Simcock.

Tonight we also had the ever thoughtful musical choices of Richard Beckton from the Ipswich Jazz Club.  We always look forward to Richard’s visits to Cosmic Jazz because we know we’ll be introduced to some great new music.  So much great jazz – so little time to share it with you!
