GILLES PETERSON

..... my favourite Radio DJ for many years seen here with Amp Fiddler - have you got his album?

"
I have been recording Gilles for many years and have a pile ofcassette tapes which I must transfer to my iMac (when I get the stinker back) so I can take on holiday in my iPod ... .. ..... it is my Mac and iPod which gathers all the newer programmes, say the last two years, and repeatedly listen to all the exciting, always new, music ........ loveitloveit.

Now an album ...... ..... this is a clip from a US website about the up and coming .....

"On Gilles Peterson Presents: The BBC Live Sessions, due October 25, he found heart and soul just below the charts, whether it’s
N.E.R.D. giving up an expansive, mello-dic “Exclusive Jam”;
Beck finding his inner bluesman on “Round the Bend”;
Björk contrasting her sweet-and-sour voice with ominous breakbeats on “Who Is It”;
the Roots torching the studio with the up-tempo scorcher “Melting Pot”;
Common revisiting his first single, “The Corner,” with sincere passion; or
Jamie Cullum belting out a cocktail-jazz version of N.E.R.D.’s “Frontin’.”

Peterson has gone out of his way to champion black music in his Anglo nation, and Live Sessions is a tribute to his efforts, showcasing a collection of stars who came to the BBC’s legendary Maida Vale studios to give him their best. “All of the artists were really quite keen to be on the album,” Peterson says.

"..... so it is full of live music and I was there for some of it ...... soooooo ..... I never recommend a Holiday or a Album - just say what I like and ....... I LIKE DIS
