Tampere Jazz Happening Friday ends with Mestizx. Not familiar with this group before, but they've recorded for International Anthem a few years ago and I'm familiar with some projects drummer Frank Rosaly has been in.

After getting home from some business travel, I'm now sick. At least I have all this great music to spin I've acquired in the past two weeks or so while I rest.
