This week’s Listenin’ Booth includes music from the Swedish singer-songwriter, rapper, occasional DJ and broadcaster… Neneh Cherry. Plus four other essential tunes you should be listening to right now.

Recorded when Johnny Walker was touring Worldwide with veteran jazz star, Lionel Hampton in 1982, his neglected underground classic LP has been off the radar ever since. Almost unknown and unjustly neglected, “Dipping” is a funk drenched jazz journey with some crunchy fat beats laid down by the excellent rhythm section complementing Johnny Walkers cool horn stylings.
