Toppyjazz Quatro (1) (Toppyjazz 375)

Once again we're back by our friends from BLUE CANOE RECORDS with the new album from Yonrico Scott "Only A Smile". This is another excellent work from Yonrico with the help from Joseph Patrick Moore and Roda Scott. Link to Blue Canoe Records
Second in line this week the German female singer Silvia Droste (1960-Herne- Germany). This is a very fine singer, listen to her version of The Summer knows!
Third part the singer from South Africa Ike Moriz. Ike is born in Hamburg Germany, but lives most of the time in Capetown.
We close our show with Liane Carroll (1964- London-England). She got 2 BBC Awards for her album Billy No Mates. But in the US only 1 star! We air some songs but think Liane hasn't got the meaning of some songs. A Foggy Day in London town, it made me DOWN. But Liane sings it as a very happy song. Next time better Liane!
