On this edition I reflect on this special moment in the morning when you wake up, this moment of stillness with nothing on your mind. And then some magic Jazz might drift in, the soundtrack created here by Chet Baker, Ahmad Jamal, Jerry Granelli, Abbey Lincoln, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Curtis Amy, Paul Bryant and many others.
In this edition we head into the Guitar Files once again, focusing on the letter D. It’s a sparse file, so we’ve looked back and found a couple of fine players omitted from the C file, and looked forward with an appetiser for the E file to come…….
And we talk some about the Fund for Phil as well as two other funding endeavours for Nigel Mooney’s upcoming album and Jazz Ireland.

The debut album "Murrays Law" is a milestone in a remarkable journey for the Murray Brothers - Out July 9th 2021 on Lyte Records.
Born in Falcarragh, Co. Donegal, twin brothers Micheal and Conor Murray have been playing jazz since the age of twelve. Growing up around traditional music, they sparked the curiosity of leading Irish jazz musician David Lyttle at the age of 16, going on to study with him and, in more recent years, touring with him professionally. Now 24 and graduates of Glasgow's Royal Conservatoire of Scotland under Tommy Smith, their debut album Murrays Law cements their reputations as Irish jazz stars on the rise and young international voices to take note of.
