Jazz breaking news: Billy Jenkins Gears Up For New Album and Digital Reissues
Tuesday, March 9, 2010
This year promises to be a big year for guitarist Billy Jenkins, the maverick jazz and blues guitarist, with a series of key album reissues and a brand new album.
First up is the new disc I Am A Man From Lewisham, the latest instalment in Jenkins’ musings on his beloved south east London. His previous suburban tone poems Sounds Like Bromley from 1981 and Greenwich from four years later will be digitally reissued for the first time.
Later in the summer Jenkin’s Uncommericality series will be issued as digital downloads along with Jazz Café Concerts Vols 1 and 2.
A new blues album is planned for the autumn and the first download issue of the three Blues Collective albums.
