Last week was for Miso, whose spark and verve inspired and gave Bar Miso its name (and whose favorite music was dub). After 16.5 years of bringing joy (and a little anxiety!), she left us the day after this set. What a spirit, what a wonder. More for Miso this Sunday, and probably a whole lot of pictures of her…

The new LP from @frincess , Poem 1, is a stunner, and that inspired a brief retrospective on last week’s show before featuring a couple of tracks from her exceptional new release. From there (maybe inspired by the great new reissue of Neil Ardley and crew’s Greek Variations… that @the_jazz_dad brought to us) it was a pivot to essential British jazz. Maybe more on that thread this week - still need to play that Ardley, after all!
