Wonder if thingy Mumford is still on the judging list?

Michael Kiwanuka has had all three of his albums nominated, I've still never heard of him.

Bland ethniofunk.

Tasteful wah-wah solo. Takes some skill that. Anti-skill?

Piano, e-bow style guitar. Atmopheric indie.

Moses Boyd

The jazz nominations.

Before I >> could this be the year where the jazz nomination wins?

Actually, as far as Sarf Lanadon jazz goes this isn't as horrify bad augmented 7th as it could be.

I bet he went to Cambridge or Oxford.
