Dopo il debutto pochi giorni fa con la Mike Westbrook Concert Band sono pronte altre tre pubblicazioni della ritrovata Cadillac Records, ora guidata da Mike Gavin: David Murray, The London Concert, Dudu Pukwana e Bob Stuckey, Night Time Is The Right Time-60s' Soho Sounds e l'eccellente trio di Mike Osborne con Harry Miller e Tony Levin, The Birmingham Jazz Concert. Ampie anteprime d'ascolto sono su Bandcamp.

John Jack founded Cadillac Records in 1973 to independently release Mike Westbrook’s music when major labels turned their back on jazz. One of the UK’s first DIY labels, Cadillac went on to build a catalogue with albums by Ken Colyer, Joe Harriott, Stan Tracey & Mike Osborne, Dave Holdsworth-Liane Carroll Quartet, Bobby Wellins Quartet, David Murray & Dudu Pukwana among others.

Otomo Yoshihide è stato ospite di Late Junction per una mezzoretta di gioviale conversazione e lieto ascolto: Toru Takemitsu, Masayuki Takayanagi, un immortale Nelson Cavaquinho, John Zorn (da Locus Solus) e Steve Beresford (da Eleven Songs for Doris Day).

Otomo Yoshihide has long been one of the most dynamic forces in Japanese experimental music. Heralded as Tokyo's premiere noise DJ, he's spent decades at the cutting edge of Japan's experimental underground. His influences range from the musique concrète of Pierre Schaefer and Pierre Henry to the Japanese free jazz of alto sax player Kaoru Abe and guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi. In 1990, he founded the influential group Ground Zero, the first free improvising musicians to use turntables, and has since been involved in countless music projects including Mosquito Paper, Project Fukushima, Sampling Virus and his New Jazz Quartet. He has also received much acclaim for his soundtracks for film and television, having produced over 70 film soundtracks, and was awarded the Japan Record Award for best composer in 2013.
