It’s not often I buy compilations but recently there have been some absolute gems. Here John Kong hand picks a brilliant selection of Canada’s finest jazz recordings and how many of us really knew that their jazz scene was so good. All the tracks were chosen for today’s dancefloors and Mr Kong deserves a pat on the back because they do exactly what they say on the sleeve. These tracks only received infrequent airplay on CBC and were available in very limited quantities, so it’s great to have a starter, to kick off the show. Simply this is beautiful and a great to start your Canadian jazz collection.
