Skysports, Flloyd on food. Rerun's of Fanny Craddock. The glorious world of cheesy based snacks to accompany card games. Delia does Norwich! Any program that would touch the subject of Jazz...Go on, you know you want to..
Adrian Leach and Mark Taylor have shared their love for music for a combined 50 years. Always looking out for the unusual, independent sparks of musical creativity, they developed a taste for the sounds of Jazz and associated genres (particularly from South America) and beyond. We aim to bring you the undiscovered club bangers and shine a light on the ever changing new music from around the world, whilst acting as a reminder to the classics that are sadly overlooked by many shows today.
Formerly of www.soul24-7.com and regular contributors of guest mixes to www.cosmicsounds-london.com, www.waxingdeep.org and live appearances at the Brighton Jazz rooms, Shiftless Shuffle, etc. The Happy Jazz show have also had the privilege to interview George Duke, Paul Murphy, Perry Hemus, Zeljko Kerlata (Cosmic Sounds) and we hope that you enjoy the output and welcome you're comments.
The Happy Jazz philosophy is simple. It's a part of our lives that makes us happy. Music can be taken seriously if you want but if you do not enjoy it, and it does not evoke a happiness within you, then why have ears?
Quite simply, we are not here to find a cure for cancer, establish world peace or right the wrongs of the world. It's 2 hours of musical Utopia, every month courtesy of......

MAY 2008 - SHOW 1 - UP NOW!!
Keep smiling!
Adrian and Mark
More delicious music from the Happy Jazz show with a feast of jazz, new and old, some good old fashioned sunny Brazilian music, past and present and some exciting talent that you may not have come across yet.
The first hour focuses on jazz. Very happy to showcase the emerging talents of the Guttorm Guttormsen Quartet from Norway, Benjamin Herman from Holland and Rick Wald & 16/NYC from yes, you guessed...New York. We step back in time with such greats as Oscar Pettiford, Dave Pike and the brilliant Zbigniew Namyslowski.
The second hour sees Mark combining the talents of Herb Geller & Mark Murphy, Tarika Blue alongside great new offerings from Kira Neris, Quasimode, 2 Banks of 4 and fresh Brazilian sounds from The Ipanemas. I think it's fairly to safe say that there is something there for everyone.
Limited downloads as always - click the links and absorb the sun and music wherever you may be.
Enjoy!
Looking forward to seeing all those attending the S.O.U.L. weekender in May in Gijon on the 16th - 18th of May.

Debut album "Groovy!" out on June 16th! A fantastic review from the leading UK soul site Soulchoonz and airplay in San Fransisco, London, Vienna, Montenegro, Frankfurt... Ooh, groovy!
Thanks for the friendship.
We're on tour at the moment playing songs from our new album "Baka Beyond the Forest" as well as some old favourites.
You can hear clips on our website (www.baka.co.uk) and we've put a couple of live tracks on our Myspace page.
One Love!
It's been quite a long time since we last talked to each other. I hope everything's OK over there!
Next May 22nd Mark will be DJing at the Love Boat, a new club in Oviedo at which I'm a weekend resident and I'm also a "DJs planner". I'd like to know whether I can take you into account to play some records there during this year.
It's possible I have to go to London in July, so we'll stay in touch.
Danny Massure's latest release 'Put It On Me' brings the sounds of acid jazz to the club. The fresh sound is due in part to the featured Seattle funk masters Tracy Ferrara on sax, Jeff Conlin on keys, Jason Graczyk on guitar and Matt Reid on trumpet. The funk gets flipped by remixers BadboE, Jayl Funk, The Breakbeat Junkie and Omegaman.
