'Somewhere along the line Coltrane’s soprano sax runs out of steam. Now it’s McCoy Tyner’s piano solo I hear, the left hand carving out a repetitious rhythm and the right layering on thick, forbidding chords. Like some mythic scene, the music portrays somebody’s - a nameless, faceless somebody’s - dim past, all the details laid out as clearly as entrails being dragged out of the darkness. Or at least that’s how it sounds to me. The patient, repeating music ever so slowly breaks apart the real, rearranging the pieces. It has a hypnotic, menacing smell, just like the forest' - Kafka On The Shore Music, and specifically jazz, has always featured heavily in the literary imagination of Haruki Murakami. In this radio special, NTS lays down two hours of jazz records as featured throughout Murakami's corpus.

Crammed Discs: Made To Measure - Christina Vantzou & JAB

With Christina Vantzou, JAB

"Crammed Discs' Made To Measure serial has been the stuff of legend since I first discovered it via Richard Horowitz and Sussan Deyhim's Desert Equations: Azax Attra (MTM 8). Since then, any MTM LP has been 'buy on sight' when it comes to crate digging. Christina and I are humbled to have been asked to contribute a mix highlighting some of our favorites from this inspiring (and still growing) catalog"
