Happy 2009 everyone! Here’s a mix that I have been saving for a special occasion.

I have regularly attended the Nottingham Out To Lunch Jazzdance sessions for at least 6 years now and have ended up getting to know quite a lot of the people that turn up on the second Sunday of every month. I enjoy the privacy of these Sunday sessions – you can go and chat to the dancers and get involved or hide behind a pillar and listen to the hard bop. Perry Louis and JazzCotech Dancers are a class act and the music is always ace.

One day in early 2008, the organiser/resident DJ Killer Jim asked me if I wanted to play at the August session. It’s a massive honour to play there so it was great to be asked. I really enjoyed blasting out the tunes to such a responsive and interpretive dancers – watching the twists, turns and ultra fancy footwork really did add an extra dimension to playing the tunes. The intimate setting somehow made it feel bigger than a ‘big’ gig and I found it one of my most rewarding and enjoyable DJ experiences so far.

Here’s what I played.
