playjazzloud sessions vol. 92 [just jazz]

jc@playjazzloud.com (JC) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 23:46:18 PST

Starting off this week's show with a bunch of records I picked up while in Copenhagen earlier this week. I found a pretty healthy record store scene over there. I was a little surprised to be honest. Check out Street Sounds if you are over there ever. It's pretty much all jazz all the way except for one Seu Jorge track at the end. I have a couple of tracks with the unmistakable voice of Andy Bey, one with Horace Silver and one with his sisters. Ahmad Jamal does a beautiful live version of 'Round Midnight recorded at the Montreal Jazz Festival in '85. A track from Sun Ra plus a japanese cover of a Sun Ra track from Yann Tomita. I've also dropped right at the end a quite nutty Soil & Pimp Sessions track from their new record. You're probably used to crazy jazz from those guys but this is goes another level, hopefully I won't scare away too many of you :) Enjoy and it's going to be all jazz all the time until mid December when I wrap up the year with the usual Rewind selection.

PJL Intro

Andy Bey - Feeling Good

Ahmad Jamal - 'Round Midnight

Oliver Nelson - Tennie's Blues

Willie Bobo - Never you mind

Horace Silver - Soul Searching

Clifford Jordan - Caribbean Cruise

Austin Peralta - Naima

Pharaoh Sanders - As you are

I wrap things up this week with another track sent to me via SoundCloud from LA's Hang Glider, look for his very promising EP on iTunes and on vinyl. Enjoy and see you next week.

playjazzloud sessions vol 75 [99% Jazz]

jc@playjazzloud.com (JC) — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 09:00:07 PDT

I actually had a different mix ready to go out for this week but I kinda had a big binge on jazz this week courtesy of iTunes shuffle and felt like I needed to share a 99% jazz vibe sessions. It's been a while. Enjoy spiritual jazz, vocal jazz, pop jazz, hiphop jazz and some hippie jazz too! Three newish tracks I dropped you need to do some work to find out more about. First one is from new vocalist (at least to me) Michelle Shaprow with some fun loving vibes, then new Stones Throw Records band The Stepkids who will be big and finally a new youtub mashup track from Kutiman who grabs sound & video samples from youtube and recreates a brand new song of out the elements, who need to check the original youtube clip. Essential. Enjoy and until next week.
