I recently picked up Jazz Possee's "BLUE" CD and mentioned it a while =
back on the list. I've been listening to it a lot and this really is a =
must-have. If I had to draw comparisons between them and others, I'd =
probably do it with artists such as Jazzhole. Jazz Possee are mostly =
in the jazz-meets-hip hop camp with some excursions into other areas.

I have also picked up "Feelin' Good", a compilation put together by On =
the One magazine in association with Luv N' Haight. As they say,..its =
crammed full of latin jazz, brazilian beats, modal sounds, heavy bass =
lines, tasty vocals & rare grooves. It certainly sounds good on the =
first couple of listens, I'll post my comments later when I've had a few =
more listens.

Another recent arrival is a reissue from Right Tempo, the Italian acid =
jazzers. This is one is "Soft & Swing : Romano Mussolini & His =
Friends". This was originally released in '79 and sounds just as cool =
today as it would have back then. More on this one later.

I heard some things from The Jazzhole. Warren got in touch with me and =
tells me they are setting up their own home page soon,..I'll let =
everyone know the URL when I find out myself. If you haven't checked =
out the Jazzhole's music,..do so real soon.

Finally,..check out Johan's Incognito page, he has done an excellent =
