Head Space Daily Words...

Tonights Head Space Daily goes out early as we're off to Ronnie Scott's in Soho this evening. Going to Ronnie's feels like walking on hallowed turf - a legendary jazz venue that's been going since 1959. I've been there twice before. The first time to see Roy Ayers in the late 90s and a few years ago for the launch of Bonobo's Black Sands album, where I also saw the fantastic Andreya Triana, who sings on a few of Bonobo's tracks, for the first time. The club has a tangible awe of excitement the moment you walk through the door. The venue is pretty small, so you are right in there with the artists and musicians. Tonight we are seeing Marlena Shaw, (see today's Daily Tune,)whom we saw, again in the late 90s, playing with Jean Carn at a club in Islington called The Rhythmic. She is an incredible vocalist and performer, properly out of the old 60s soul stable and there aren't too many of those left unfortunately. To say that I am thoroughly excited would be an understatement...
