The importance of keeping history alive, in this modern society, is becoming increasingly important, especially in view of the fact that a generous chunk of people all over the world seem to be easily over distracted by media, fake news and anything else that requires more than 10 minutes attention span, forgetting what really matters for our present, past and future.
In this respect, we all are very fortunate that some of us have lived life in a different time of the world, in what some of us may call "bygone era", where human values like "respect" and "preservation" were applied not only to defend the safeguard of the planet, but also the identity, traditions and history of each country.

When our website stumbled upon an album called At Pizza Express - Live In London, back in 2024, by the young American Jazz singer and songwriter Anaïs Reno, we were all amazed, at Bluebird Reviews, by the class, talent and elegance of the then 20-years-old N.Y. based artist.
A rising star that strongly impressed everyone since the beginning of her career, when Reno, in 2021, delivered a stunning studio album called Lovesome Thing: Anaïs Reno Sings Ellington & Strayhorn, this highly talented Jazz singer showed already on a very early stage of her artistic life the love and respect that Reno has for the giants of the genre, might they be singers, songwriters or composers.

If there is anybody in the history of the last half a century of Dub music constantly at the forefront of the roots, tradition and evolution of the genre, especially in the United Kingdom, that person is Jah Wobble.
Born John Joseph Wardle, the British Bass player and Dub Maestro has been (and still is, to these days), since the late 70's, a font of continue inspiration for fellow colleagues and young musicians, thanks to his unique vision and application of the genre into some of the most seminal records of the last five decades of music, while working with the elite of the music establishment.
