So many great releases to choose from again, and the music just doesn't stop coming in spite, or maybe because of the difficult times.

What have we got here then?  Two beautiful releases from the Arkestra...their brand new recording and a quite incredible live recording from New York that swings hard.  We've got vintage Zouk from Guadeloupe courtesy of Secousse Records, stunning late night ambiance from Jon Kolodij on the reliably wonderful Astral Spirits, forthcoming releases from Misha Sultan, Y Bulbul and Sublime Frequencies and a timely archival release from Bargain Classics, one of Newcastle upon Tyne's best kept secrets.
