Listen To Greg Malcolm's New Album 'Just Like Jim'

Ōtautahi experimental guitar figurehead Greg Malcolm has a new long player out today courtesy of Ilam Press Records, in partnership with Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu. Entitled Just Like Jim, the nine track instrumental offering was performed entirely using "a 1950s Hofner archtop guitar he inherited from his late grandfather, Jim Spence", recorded live by Jeff Henderson in mid-2020 at Tāmaki Makaurau's Audio Foundation. Masterfully traversing a variety of styles including traditional rembetika and klezmer music, Just Like Jim offers listeners an accessible portal into Malcolm's inimitable world of sound. Ilam Press Records' limited vinyl LP edition looks to be a drool-worthy object to cherish in its own right too — designed by Luke Wood, packaged with a large format 8-page booklet "containing extensive liner-notes by Greg Malcolm and Bruce Russell", and topped off with a bespoke screen-printed cover. Lucky Wellingtonians have the chance to catch Malcolm performing an intimate seated set tonight at Pyramid Club, we strongly advise you grab presales while they're available...
