Had a great few days in Riga - a city with lovely friendly people and beautiful architecture. A few days of hunting for records, eating Latvian, Georgian and Ukrainian food, watching some young Latvian and Danish jazz acts, and seeing Kamasi Washington turn up and play a jam session in a small and intimate jazz venue. #riga #latvia #kamasiwashington #jazz
Singles Night! Been a while since I played my 45s so dug into some of my record boxes. Listening to lot of deep soul 45s, previously neglected by a younger me for funkier flip sides. Now slightly older, the deep soul sides are hitting harder. This is a nice one.

More vinyl bars, this one in Tokyo. Sadly, most of the vinyl bars I’ve visited in South Korea and Japan have been disappointing. They look great and have fantastic setups, but the music choices haven’t hit the mark for me. In fact, best music I heard was at a farmer’s market and craft beer event - heavy heavy funk and organ grooves at the market and left-field disco during the beer event #vinylbar #vinyl #tokyo #vinylcollection
I’ve been spinning the Søren Skov Orbit debut LP “Adrift”recently, and it’s such an atmospheric and deep listen. Big props to Frederiksberg Records for putting this out. Søren’s a top guy so it’s great to see his music out there. #sørenskovorbit #jazz #newjazz #danishjazz #frederiksbergrecords #sorenskovorbit
Dug into some of my 45 boxes for a soulful Friday session. This stood out. A vocal jazz track with some furious drumming and a little jazz guitar. Had it for years and always wanted to know more about the group but searching hits a dead end - internet throws back a lot of Shakespeare but no jazz! Not seen another copy. Stuck info I do know on Discogs. #45rpm #45fridays #vinyl #vinylvulture #jazz45 #vinylcollection #globetheatre #7inch
