Happy Jazz with Adrian Leach & Mark Taylor. (UK)
Adrian Leach and Mark Taylor have shared their love for music for a combined 50 years. Always looking out for the unusual, independent sparks of musical creativity, they developed a taste for the sounds of Jazz and associated genres (particularly from South America) and beyond. We aim to bring you the undiscovered club bangers and shine a light on the ever changing new music from around the world, whilst acting as a reminder to the classics that are sadly overlooked by many shows today.
Formerly of www.soul24-7.com and regular contributors of guest mixes to www.cosmicsounds-london.com, www.waxingdeep.org and live appearances at the Brighton Jazz rooms, Shiftless Shuffle, etc. The Happy Jazz show have also had the privilege to interview George Duke, Paul Murphy, Perry Hemus, Zeljko Kerlata (Cosmic Sounds) and we hope that you enjoy the output and welcome you're comments.
The Happy Jazz philosophy is simple. It's a part of our lives that makes us happy. Music can be taken seriously if you want but if you do not enjoy it, and it does not evoke a happiness within you, then why have ears?
Quite simply, we are not here to find a cure for cancer, establish world peace or right the wrongs of the world. It's 2 hours of musical Utopia, every month courtesy of......

MAY 2008 - SHOW 1 - UP NOW!!
Keep smiling!
Adrian and Mark
More delicious music from the Happy Jazz show with a feast of jazz, new and old, some good old fashioned sunny Brazilian music, past and present and some exciting talent that you may not have come across yet.
The first hour focuses on jazz. Very happy to showcase the emerging talents of the Guttorm Guttormsen Quartet from Norway, Benjamin Herman from Holland and Rick Wald & 16/NYC from yes, you guessed...New York. We step back in time with such greats as Oscar Pettiford, Dave Pike and the brilliant Zbigniew Namyslowski.
The second hour sees Mark combining the talents of Herb Geller & Mark Murphy, Tarika Blue alongside great new offerings from Kira Neris, Quasimode, 2 Banks of 4 and fresh Brazilian sounds from The Ipanemas. I think it's fairly to safe say that there is something there for everyone.
Limited downloads as always - click the links and absorb the sun and music wherever you may be.
Enjoy!
Looking forward to seeing all those attending the S.O.U.L. weekender in May in Gijon on the 16th - 18th of May.
