Just got linked up to this video, featuring Theo Parrish and London’s favourite uncle Jean-Claude vibing out in the one and only If Music. When I first got to London If Music was still located in Soho, with the Friday night after hours jams in full-swing. For those that remember, this video definitely kicks up a few memories of what used to go down there, heads sitting around sharing a drink and a smoke while blowing each other’s minds with jazz and soul.
Nothing else to really add, except big ups to both Theo and Jean-Claude. Proper gentleman and educators in the game who deserve all the respect they’ve earned over the years. I’ve always wanted to do a photo shoot with Jean-Claude outside Saville Row; the man is style and music head to toe.
Incidentally Marc Mac is going to be down at If Music for Record Store Day, signing copies of his long-awaited second coming of the Visioneers project. Hipology is coming in the form of a 5 x 7″ pack the follow up to Dirty Old Hip Hop done specially for the day.
