He's playing The Brook in Southampton in mid-December and I thought I'd try and blag a couple of tickets in exchange for a review, so I asked the editor/owner of The And Guide (the free entertainment paper I write for) to sort it out and he's gone one better because the venue want me to do an interview with the great man.
I've now asked if Roser, my gf, can shoot the gig for the paper as well as she's a photographer - could be our first assignment together
Excited isn't the word ..
Every time I've DJed anywhere I've always played at least one of his records, normally two or three .. the man's a bona fide genius and giant of the jazz-funk world !
Here's my mix of some of his stuff ...
