There have been too many obituaries over this last month to do justice to all those who have passed but we’ll make an exception for Edson Arantes Do Nascimento. Here’s a short celebration of the 1970 world cup winning Brazilian team with Pelé taking centre stage. Directed by Douglas Hart, featuring the music of Primal Scream and first broadcast on BBC 2 back in 1994.

Today’s playlist is inspired by Dilla Time by Dan Charnas, the one book we managed to finish reading this year.
Not just a biography it’s also a history of rhythm, an explanation of what made James DeWitt Yancey unique and an exploration of his legacy.
