Final transmission of The Big Racket! on IC Radio. Coincidentally nodding to our LP's RPMs, being the 33rd episode in 3⅓ years. A lovely farewell after 3⅓ years of aerially racketeering aural receptors, bowing out with the 5th instalment of Channeling the Spirit of Jazz, joined by Jazzmaster Phrij (co-founder of Imperial College London's Musictech Society) plus textile/visual artist, Kumi.
A double serving of afrocentric reverberations and intoxicating grooves; the first hour blessed by a waxwork of Phrij's finest funky jazz selection, the second a back-to-back stagger on a minefield of flashbacks and crack-ups with fella Kumi. (Fun fact: the 2nd track of the 2nd part was the previous record spun backwards to buy time in the search for a 45RPM adaptor, rather the curious catastrophe.)
Ears up to the penultimate tune, the mesmerizing 'Din Ya Sugri' from Ghana's Christy Azuma & Uppers International – an absolute gem uncovered in the inimitable Soundway Records's Ghana Special: Modern Highlife, Afro Sounds & Ghanaian Blues 1968-1981 compilation.
