I think Thompsons Corner is an oasis in the desert of music programming for Sydney's consenting adults. Every Tuesday afternoon, you're invited to join me for 4 hours of quality contemporary jazz and independent music from Australia and elsewhere. There will be the occasional interview with a local or overseas artist or musician, sometimes a themed hour, eg; songs that start with the word Blue.....but always a comfortable afternoon of audio pleasure. And, if you've heard an artist or musician you think I'd be interested in, please contact me.
Some of my favourite cd's of the moment are:-
Quartet for Car Horns and Brakes by The Baker Suite (Australian duo from Adelaide unreservedly recommended)
The Distance Between Two Truths by Mark Sholtez
Shimmer by Bonnie J Jensen
Tango 3.0 by the Gotan Project
Tune in and enjoy some distinctive music for grown ups.
