Tap Dancing to Work

Xhosa Cole is a name that has been bandied about for the best part of a decade now. After winning the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 2018, it felt like everyone was waiting for the contemporary jazz artist to live up to his hype, or implode because of it. With each new album Cole has grown in confidence as a player and songwriter. Now, on his third album – a love letter and reinterpretation of works by musical idol, Thelonious Monk – we’re starting to see the fruition of that praise and work ethic paying off.

The JamPlay Artist Series features lessons taught by progressive guitarists from all styles of music. These lessons focus on each artist's particular style, and are taught by either the artist himself(found under "Artists"), or a qualified instructor familiar with that artist's playing style ("In The Style Of").

VA - A Time To Remember 1970-1979: 10 CDs each one including an exclusive 20-track music compilation of original hit recordings by the original artists.

20 Original Chart Hits continues British label A Time To Remember's look at the hits of the decade. The tracks featured are a strange mix of novelty, pop, and hard rock tracks that give a very good, if narrow, feel for the times. Narrow because like many of the volumes in the series, there are multiple entries by artists and there is a great deal of overlap from year to year (i.e. the same bands (the Hollies, Deep Purple.) and singers (Shirley Bassey, Olivia Newton-John) showing up on each year's collection).
