Yeah its actually pretty hard to beat the early classics such as 'Searchin' by Hazel Dean, 'Feels Like Im in Love by Kelly Marie, or any of the early Nik Kershaw 45s ha ha.

I never got into Acid Jazz but love TSC. However, just bought Off The Beaten Track by Mick Talbot and Steve White. Purely instrumental but a fantastic album by 2 great musicians imo.

Ooh! Now that sounds very interesting, I might have a search around for that.

With them was Yolanda Charles who used to play bass with Weller back then. Have to say I find the record quite average, but that´s just my opinion. Nevertheless Steve White´s an extaordinary drummer!

80s Hip Hop has always been a staple of mine since, well, the 80s because of an interest in Acid Jazz and rare groove. One landmark gig for me was when I was lucky enough to see the mighty DJ Kool Herc live back in 2000. It was like watching my grandad spin some of the funkiest records on two of my mum's record players by artists like Jimmy Castor, Herman Kelly, Rufas Thomas, James Brown etc... just crazy. Another Hip Hop pioneer I've been lucky enough to see live is DJ Grandmaster Flash who did pretty much the same thing but with a bit more technical finesse.
