BBC Sessions
Two CD set. On BBC Live Sessions, radio DJ Gilles Peterson showcases an eclectic roster of live artist tracks from his Radio 1 show, including Beck's melancholy 'Round the Bend' and Beth Gibbons' after-hours, Lady Day-flavored 'Romance.' Peterson's guest roster favors low-key Soul-Jazz like Roisin Murphy's 'Sow Into You' or Amp Fiddler's 'I'm Doin' Fine,' with frequent forays into Hip Hop territory like Common's 'The Corner.' But he also refreshingly blends experimentalists like Bjork, whose reworking of 'Who Is It,' from her Medulla album, is a highlight, and contemporary Jazz, in the shape of the Heritage Orchestra's 'Telescopic,' into his wide-ranging mix. 27 tracks. 2006.
