A few live performances from Jarrod Lawson and Tahirah Memory with a bonus with what I consider the best track from Tahira's latest album.
Jarrod Lawson - Love Isn't Always Enough
An song that he sings at live performances but as yet unreleased. Why on earth as this never been released it is absolutely superb!
SoulStrutter's Rating: 9.4
The new album Orpheus was released in Nov 2019 and is available via BandCamp but for some reason doesn't include this track in the set. Perhaps it didn't fit with what for me is a rather disappointing album after a 6 year wait since his debut. That's not to say that it isn't good but perhaps I was expecting too much and the debut is hard to follow.
Jarrod Lawson [2015] - A Song For You Live at Jazz FM Awards
A faultless live performance of the song made famous by the late great Donny Hathaway from who I consider the new Donny Hathaway.

Tahira Memory & Jarrod Lawson - All The Time
SoulStrutter's Rating: 9.5
A bit of self-indulgence here ...ever since he/they burst onto the scene 6 or so years ago, I fell in love with this song. It was released on Tahira Memory's debut album Pride. I saw them live in London in 2017 and was lucky enough to meet them after the show. This is an early live recording in Cologne in 2015.
... and here's the recorded version from the Pride album.
