This is the last Nows The Time before Christmas so a very Happy festive season to ye all. We had a hopping show as there are still so many great new releases to feature and come the new year we'll do a best of 2006 to round up what we think were the best albums of the year.
A particular high point was the track Red Ochre Cowrie by Hu Vibrational from the album Univeral Mother(pictured). The album was Produced by Los Angeles left-field hip-hop/electronic/jazz artist Carlos Nino aka Ammon Contact and features Adam Rudolph, Hamid Drake and Brahim Fribgane as well as special guest and deep jazz legend Yusef Lateef. Well worth checking out on the excellent Soul Jazz Records.
