This is a mostly quiet night of new music from England, featuring some of our favorite performers. The spotlight turns on newly released CDs in America that feature (mostly) English artists. For a dash of spice, we programmed cuts from the new 3 Mustaphas 3 release. Trust us, they might sound like they are from the Balkans but they're English. The Jez Lowe/Jake Walton collaboration is the first CD release of a 1986 project that's been long out of print.
