JAMES AND JON





Following on from yesterday's item about Honest Jon's record shop and the mention that James Lavelle used to work there...here is one of the side projects he was involved in when employed at the Portobello Road emporium.
He used to compile these weekly jazz charts for Echoes music paper - that's jazz in it's broader jazz not jazz dancefloor term of course, so also included hip hop, house, soul and such like.
The example I have above dates from August 1991 and at the top of the list is an instalment of the excellent Argo / Cadet compilation series released on Charly Records, the one here being "Free Soul".
