The album's unexpected success points to the importance of curation in an overcrowded online music ...

Keith Tippett Octet: Nine Dances Of Patrick O’Gonogon
by Duncan Heining
The Nine Dances of Patrick O'Gonogon is a solid gold delight. I have no idea, who Paddy O'Gonogon is or even if he exists outside the minds of Keith Tippett and Julie Tippett but I'd love to have a drink or eight with him. Seems like he knows how to have a good time.

The Blue Notes and the Brotherhood of Breath - Marching to a Different Drum
by Duncan Heining
Early one August morning in 1964, seven people crossed the border by train passing from South Africa into Mozambique.
