As I look up at the night sky through the bare branches of the roadside trees I see starlight and feel deep time.

...and then again - Spring Jazz


Considering how much I listen to jazz I don't upload much here so I put something together for Spring. I'm just going to keep it simple except to say that there's some great stuff here, perfect for a sunny Sunday, particularly the last 14 minute epic.
Highlights include:

Elvin Jones - walking bassline and drum solo
Ahmad Jamal - great recording of the drums
Pharoah Saunders - stone cold classic
Bobby Hutcherson - great vibes, inspired Madlib, two tracks of the expansive Head On album
Nathan Davis - that groove ain't no joke
Les McCann - so much feeling, emotive strings
Motherless Child - one of the best recordings ever. Dwight Trible's singing is the most emotive, soul-wrenching, joyful thing.The bass solo is also fantastic.

Consciousness, universality, nature, the infinite, connectedness, metaphysics, harmony, rhythm, melody ... soul, jazz, acoustic, classical, balearic, electronic soul, leftfield techno etc etc. This one is an extra long, lovingly crafted mixed bag inspired by the philosopher Alan Watts. It's a cosmic, natural, free floating all encompassing celebration exploring the inner and outer worlds. Starting in orbit, coming back down and soothing you and carrying you away again. Sit back and enjoy.

Music is the Healing Force of the Universe





Download (Right Click)

Music is the healing force of the universe, its the door of the cosmos and there's some greats here to show you. The intergalactic Sun Ra, the larger than life composer and one of my favourite bassists Charles Mingus and the wonderful Albert Ayler all lead the cosmic way. Look out for serious groove both old and new. And it gets funky towards the end, ending as it had to with a classic Donald Byrd track. Oh and look out for a 19 year old Prince bringing the jazz-funk on keyboards.

Buddy Rich - Kilimanjaro Cookout
Yesterdays New Quintet - Liberated
Sun Ra and his Intergalatic Myth Science Solar Arkestra - Door of the Cosmos
Griot Galaxy - Liberty City Rundown
Ahmad Jamal - Squatty Roo
Lester Young Trio - Rosetta
Charles Mingus - Taurus in the Arena of Life
Abbey Lincoln - Retribution
Albert Ayler - Music is the Healing Force of the Universe
Sun Ra & His Arkestra - That's How I Feel
Stonephace - Five Miles High
Orakel - Come Closer
Bobby Hutcherson - Ummah
Nelson/Cymone/Rivkin - #5
Young-Holt Unlimited - Hey Pancho
Donald Byrd - Wind Parade

!!!Japan Jazz!!! - Soil & Pimp Sessions

I've been meaning to put this together a tribute to the mighty Soil & Pimp Sessions for a while and the release of their latest album Stoned Pirate Radio, a concept cover album set in the year 2036 was the perfect driver to get me to finally get on it.


They're my favourite current jazz group. I love them because they totally rock the show bringing bags of funk, groove, reggae, ska and all out party vibes. I've seen them live every time they've played in London and they do definately bring the party! Also included are tracks from the rhythm section trio who go by the name of Just A Maestro (JAM). Another Japanese group Indigo Jam Unit are also featured, they've got groove to, they did an album with Common named Re:Common on which they reworked some of his tracks on a jazz tip, some seriously sweet grooves goin on there!

I can tell you for certain I won't be leaving the house without this, you'll definately want to turn up the volume and rock out!

See you at their next London gig.
