Peter Slavid - ‘European Modern Jazz’ on the radio playlist, first broadcast 15/12/2024.

Monday, December 16, 2024

Broadcaster & journalist Peter Slavid has forwarded details of the music played on his UK & European Jazz radio show on 15/12/2024, which is available via a number of UK & international radio stations

Peter Slavid writes;

Radio Playlist, 15th and 22nd December 2024

 

This week’s show (and next week’s) feature my personal favourite albums of the year.


I don’t attempt to do a “best of”, I play them in alphabetical order, and they simply reflect my personal taste rather than any sort of objective measure.  After two months away from home (due to flooding) I know that I have missed some albums – so apologies if that included your favourites. People who enjoy my show will probably enjoy this selection - but most of the albums probably won’t feature on anyone else’s list.


I’ve put the full list here - Part one is available now on http://www.mixcloud.com, at Camp radio and as a podcast - Part two will be broadcast next Sunday and then available elsewhere next week.


I’ll be back with new releases in January - meanwhile do have a great Christmas and lets look forward to a happy and musical new year


Regards
Peter


As it turns out:
This year’s 20 albums include
7 from UK;  3 from Germany;  2 from Denmark
1 each from Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland
