Greg Poppleton & The Bakelite Broadcasters – Doin The Charleston

If vintage 1920’s swing is your thing then you gotta check out this local Sydney band. Greg Poppleton sings in a splendid style reminiscent of the era, and the Bakelite Band equally match his unique sound with an infectious and authentic swinging jazz style.

Tracks played on The New Thing:

‘St James Infirmary (Alternate Take)’

‘I’m Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself A Letter)’

‘Stormy Weather’

 

 

 

 

 

Jonathan Zwartz – The Remembering & Forgetting Of The Air

A stalwart of the Australian Jazz Music scene, Jonathan Zwartz has appeared on a multitude of jazz projects since his debut album The Sea was released five years ago. The Remembering & Forgetting Of The Air marks his follow up and it is exceptional. Featuring an array of Australian talent, the album sways between classically inspired Jazz music and sounds influenced by swing and groove. A must have for those who love to support the local jazz scene.

Tracks played on The New Thing:

‘Shimmer’

‘Curtis’

A Track From Eastside Radio’s Album Of The Week

‘Bamako Youth’ by Jess Green’s Bright Sparks the album Tinkly Tinkly.

 

 

 

 

 

Alice Russell  – To Dust

One of the power divas on the Tru Thoughts record label, English Singer Alice Russell is often unfairly thought of as a guest vocalist, however To Dust is the singer’s fifth album and further affirms her talent as a budding solo artist. As you would expect the album is produced fantastically, the vocals are powerful, and the beats are addictive. Everything you’d want and expect from a singer with such a brilliant set of pipes!

Tracks played on The New Thing:

‘Heartbreaker Part 2’

‘Let’s Go (Breakdown)’
