Plastic Language w/ Betsy Porritt

This volume of Plastic Language features special recordings made around Birmingham with the poet Betsy Porritt, with brief appearances from Sam Weselowski and Miles Bradley. Image: 'I Want Neither the Honey Nor the Bee', from 'Oh Unquenchable Thirst' (Distance No Object, 2024).

In Focus: Roy Ayers

Few artists have straddled the worlds of jazz, R&B, funk, and soul as confidently as Roy Ayers – ask four people what genre he's known for and you may receive four different answers. Beyond being a world-class vibraphonist, and penning the life-affirming anthem "Everybody Love The Sunshine", Ayers life and music was rich with diversions – touring with Fela Kuti, performing with Whitney Houston, countless studio collaborations, and endless innovation on his solo records. Selected and mixed by Suncut.
