Lake Street Dive – A Fun Place to Be

I first became aware of Lake Street Dive when I saw a clip of them performing The Kink’s Lola live about 18 months ago. Since them I have made a point of getting to know them a little better and got the heads-up that they had released a new album in March of this year. It’s time to share some tracks and a bit of background from an extremely talented of Jazz musicians who took their music beyond just that.

Mini-Feature – Yazmin Lacey

Last week I fell in love and I think Yazmin and I are going to live happily ever after. This was all thanks to fellow music blogger (and member of our LTM group), Frank Darnell, who writes A Franke View posted two tracks from her debut EP that she released in 2017. My immediate comment was I can’t wait to hear more from this lady, and lo and behold, a few days later I stumbled across some more from this remarkable singer/songwriter.

Mini-Feature – Jazz Is Dead

Today I am not so much featuring an album or particular artist, rather than a series of recordings under the label ‘Jazz is Dead’. The series was launched earlier this year and there are four releases so far, each of which is set to become collectors’ items for Jazz fans.
