A Long Time Between Drinks

I'm back and ready to rock or is that Jazz?

Owing to family commitments, the death of my Father and of course the demise of UK Jazz Radio, I took some time out to recharge and refocus. I have a new show on www.alljazzradio.co.za  called The Groove Merchant, originally for the first batch of shows the title was Merchants Of Groove but to avoid any possible legal action it was changed to The Groove Merchant. I hope you like it and would value your input/comments. I will spend the next few days collating all the playlists and download links and post here. Keep in touch!
