I totally slept on this, but Gilles' recorded a great podcast a few months back with Straight No Chaser father, and one of my biggest inspirations, Paul Bradshaw. Paul (and Swifty) gracefully fielded my pesty letters as a teenager far away in Atlanta, and eventually let me come to London to work there during college. That was over 10 years ago, hard to believe.
Check it out, as Gilles and Paul dig through some of their favorite records and chat about the early days, and whats to come (publishers, holler). This only gives a taste of the depth and breadth of knowledge this man possesses. A true don!
