Gilles Peterson

(http://brownswoodrecordings.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/candle-light-wallpapers_5408_1024x7681-425x340.jpg) The shocking events this last week in Japan will affect us all. Many of my closest friends, family and work colleagues are there. It is my second home. As a DJ I have spent some of my most inspired nights in Japan. I always come back inspired, refreshed and motivated. The Japanese people have always shown me love and affection - they are the most passionate music fans and if they like what you do - they let you know! We all need that in life. Japan is a positive nation and as such I am sure it will eventually recover from it's current trauma. I hope you enjoy this mix that I recorded today featuring some Japanese tunes that have touched me over the years. Enjoy and of course...

Gilles meets one of his musical heroes - the legendary Herbie Hancock - and goes in deep on the Blue Note years, discussing the amazing records he recorded, the celebrated musicians he worked with and the culture of innovation within the Blue Note family. Deja-vu? Yeah I know. We've been having a few technical issues with our podcasts and iTunes of late. I won't bore you with the details but would like to apologise if you've experienced any difficulties getting hold of our podcasts. Fingers crossed it's all working fine now. This Herbie Hancock podcast was a mammoth 2-part interview that I posted up on Xmas Eve. Both parts have been available here on the website since then, but unfortunately only Part 1 fed into iTunes. Hence I am re-upping Part 2 for the benefit of those folks who are subscribed to the podcast series via iTunes. Confused? Don't worry about it!
