Private Gardening by Small Jerry

Our next mix comes courtesy of Private Gardening: selectors Privatepressed & Joel Garden

DJ and record collector Privatepressed (Kathryn Firanski) tirelessly hips the Toronto scene to gorgeous under the radar jazz, soul, and boogie pressings. Known for her mind-expanding all vinyl sets, she lends her talent to music collectives and dance floors in Toronto, the USA, and abroad.

DJ, musician, and producer Joel Garden (Belerique) always turns the floor with turntablist techniques and holy grail offerings mixed with discoveries in samba, bossa nova, spiritual jazz, and hip-hop. He’ll fast-cut four fire dollar bins you’ve never heard with an OG pressing of Spread Love and make it all look lemon squeezy. Joel’s latest self titled release can be found via band camp in the link below.

Here they entwine sensibilities to take us on a ramble through Soul, Jazz, Bossa-Nova, Psych and Boogie badness. Pull on your gardening clogs and traipse through the funky topography.

We can’t wait to resume Joel & Kathryn’s all things jazz night: ‘The Jazzhole’ when we (eventually) re-open!

Big Love from everyone at The Little Jerry.
